Just to be sure

Just to be sure, you downloaded and installed the latest patch from Blizzard? You can do it directly from their website, you don't need to connect to Battle.Net.

Already installed the patch

Patch had no affect since I alredy tried it. Any other suggestions?

Contact Blizzard

Contact Blizzard, and make them fix it for you. You paid for the game, and have a reasonable expectation for it to work. It's not, so make it their problem.

Also check Blizzard's forums for any suggestions people may have had there.

Couple of other things to try is looking for malware damage to your OS and compatibility modes. I know WarCraft 3 works on XP, and that's effectively NT 5.1, Vista is NT 6.0.

Also try 'right-clicking'...Run As Administrator. See if this helps
