I run the game and get this error.
Any way to fix this? It won't let me change it to display 256 colors.

The problem seems to be with storm.dll and from what I've read on the crashing causes of SC.

Access Violation in dsound - most commonly related to old sound card drivers, you need to go to your sound card manufacturers web site and download the latest drivers for your Sound Card.

Access Violation is storm.dll - same as above

So the sound drivers on DOSBox are causing the crash I think. What should I do to remedy that?

If you made your image by hand following one of the "Windows 95 instructions" threads here you woulnd't have this issue because you could specify the size when you do it. Following those instructions would also lead to working video and sound card drivers that would make Starcraft function properly.

making images by hand >>>>>> downloading noob-made 'omg windows in dosbox' images

Because they are warranted.

Pester the developer who made DOSBox for PSP.
