I searched and only found stuff about is it possible to get to windowed mode etc

I lag alot less in Windowed mode however my problem is: i cant use mouse scroll because theres no way to lock the mouse to the SC2 window liket here was in Chaos(scbw)

Is there a program out that can do this?

Ive looked at topics and idk which ones are legit and im pretty bad tech wise, so if anyone can link me to a working program or something that would be much appreciated!

EDIT : i tried cursor lock and i..dont understand how to get it to work
EDIT2 : Auto hotkey supposedly works but..i dont know how to get it to work and if ucked up my sc2 and had to reinstall by making the program overwrite my exe or something

ACTUALLY PROBLEM SOLVED, by fucking around with the program for like 10-20 minutes i managed to figure it out

Basically what you want to do is
download Auto Hotkey, google first link

Go to the auto hotkey shit on the start menu and click
"Auto Script Writer"

input the following :

+ Show Spoiler +

click save
next go to Convert ahk to exe
find your file, choose a location for it
save it there. make sure to run thsi whenever you wantt o play sc2 in windows mode
(caps lock on = window lock/ off = free scroll)

next right click your desktop, go to personalization
windows color
ont he scroll bar go to padding, change this to zero

THERE you have it , windows mode with the ability to scroll freely


note : i found out how to make it work by just messing around, and the padding thing was suggested on a topic i read

Padding thing didn't work, but I'm guessing that's due to different OS..But everything else worked well.

I think there's an option in the Gameplay Section of Starcraft 2 called "Confine Mouse Cursor", change it to "on" and it should work just fine.
But i'm not even sure that i really understand your problem as I never tried Windowed Mode.

to play in windowed mode minimize everything that is open, then minimize the taskbar/lock it. If windows 7 you'll need to use Taskbar Eliminator. And if all of those still don't work get a mouse trapper used for WC3

I have windows vista, and I'm somewhat noobish with computers, but I don't know how to even run in windowed mode. I tried the alt + enter thing... and I think one other, but it didn't work :/ any help pls? ^^

easiest 3rd party software to use was WMC (windows mouse capture), however as mentioned above, sc2 has the confine cursor option in the gameplay settings.

advantage of usign WMC is that you can assign the hotkey so that you can lock/unlock the cursor from the window any time that you want. extremely useful for me. too bad sc2 doesnt record your apm inclusive of the things you do outside of the game while the game is still on
