Hi, I've had queries that have gone unanswered too, so [it's] not
just you. As the others have said, if no one replies, perhaps no
one actually knows the answer.
To Ruben, although I don't know what Starcraft is: if it is a product
that you paid for (or even if it is free), you should probably try
e-mailing the vendor/authors so that they are aware that their product
has problems. Also, other users of the product may have hints, or they
may at least be able to tell you that you're not alone in your
experience.
The WAMUG list is a great place for people to contribute their
suggestions on many things Mac-related. However it may not always be
the best place for specialised application support. Perhaps there is
a Starcraft users group which would be a more likely place to ask
questions about a particular specialised product.
I've never used Starcraft, however within a few minutes I found that
on the developer's tech support page they offer an email address for
reporting problems with their product. You could try contacting the
developers.
You could also try using Google to see if others have experienced
similar symptoms to you. There do appear to be reports of it
crashing under Mac OS X 10.1.something, maybe it still had that
problem under your version of Mac OS.
You could also use the tried-and-proven procedure of disconnecting
non-essential peripherals (e.g. you mention a second hard drive which
you seem to suggest was implicated initially), installing a new,
clean operating system with a new, clean game installation, then
testing to see if the problem still exists. It's possible you may
have "customised" your system to an extent which Starcraft can't deal
with.

Good luck!
