Can't start a starcraft campaign

I'm having the hardest time starting a starcraft campaign... I try to pick the first campaign (protoss on the expansion or terran on vanilla) and I can select it but nothing happens. When I try one of the other ones it says something like, you really should complete campaign x first, do you really want to start on this one? And if I hit ok, it doesn't do anything.. again.... anyone got any ideas? I think I can load a game.

    Are you sure you are clicking the right one? Vanilla is supposed to start with Terran.

    Yes it's patched.. the only thing I can think of is that I got a launcher b/c I can't find my broodwars expansion CD. I tried playing it with the regular starcraft disc but it still didn't work. And yes I play on battle.net so it's definitely patched.

    Can anyone make a save and then I can maybe load it or something? I'm not sure what I can do =( It makes the click noise but doesn't start the campaign.

    Edit: I tried to play online and couldn't do that either. Just going to reinstall. Please lock thread. Guess I'll have to find my b-wars cd =(

    I may have found your problem.

    Yeah I'm not sure what happened. It worked for a while, I could play on battle.net. Then I thought I just couldn't start campaigns.. but I couldn't play on b-net either. The application data couldn't be verified or something. Oh well, I recently moved and I'm pretty sure I just left my broodwars CD at my parents house, so no harm no foul. Since SC2 was announced I might as well just play through the entire original and expansion in order again... and I started on the original last night.

    Might as well lock the thread, I don't have the problem anymore

    I believe the latest patch (which came out a week ago or so) broke the launchers.
