Direct Draw error in vidinimo_PC.cpp line 160
SetDisplayMode

Starcraft can't change the resolution and colors. It suggests me to do it manually. It used to work before I try beginning to learn OpenGL. What do I do ?

Check to make sure you don't have any 'projects' running oin the background, and that you didn't alter any oGL libraries. Do other games have this problem?

I don't have anything special running... Is there something I should search for in the task manager ?...
I don't think I've touched anything in OpenGL, I just installed it for DevC++.
Changing the resolution normally doesn't work either, it asks me to reboot. It used to work without rebooting, though I haven't tried doing so.

Check that you can "Apply new display settings without rebooting" in your advanced display settings. If that's no help, sometimes graphics drivers need reinstalling. Get new ones from ati/nvidia (whichever is applicable)

Yeah, I did that, following some other board's advice, and it worked. Case closed, move along.
