    Maybe this is very common,

    but pretty much whenever I try to play a .SCX map, my starcraft goes into self-destruction mode and flips out then quits. I've been away from the game for a while so excuse me if this is an old problem. I downloaded the latest patch/update for broodwar from battle.net. Help me out if you know what the problem may be because I want to play a bunch of new maps I just downloaded but I can't because they are all .scx. Thanks.

    SCM = Starcraft Regular Maps
    SCX = Starcraft Expansion Maps

    You cannot play SCX maps if your playing Starcraft Regular.

    You can play SCM and SCX maps if your playing Broodwar

    you can try uninstalling and reinstalling the game.

    If you dont remember you CD key, you can get a CD Key Retriever from elitegrounds.net

    Hey thanks, reinstalling worked out. I can finally play on Python, Destination, etc. I did a test run single player on Destination and noticed that there must be some kind of AI on this map. Terran was SCV blocking, expanding real fast and all kinds of stuff.

    The maps don't come with AI Scripts, those are separate deals...unless you got one of those awesome packages!
