HOWTO: Fix Starcraft 2 & “The Frozen Mouse Bug” on on Surface Pro

imageJust a quick note:  Anyone interested in installing Starcraft 2 on a Surface Pro should know that it will install just fine however initially, you may find that the mouse pointer will not appear to move on the Starcraft II login screen, making it impossible to login and start the game.

THE STARCRAFT 2 MOUSE POINTER/TEXT SIZE BUG:
The reason for this is Starcraft 2 has a well-known bug that makes it impossible to control the mouse pointer if Windows is configured with a Text Size of “Larger – 150%”.  This is a setting in Control PanelDisplay.  This bug has never been fixed and has bothered gamers with large display resolutions for a long time.

Surface Pro is pre-configured with the display text size at “Larger – 150%” so if you change this to “Medium – 125%”, and reboot, you’ll find that that Starcraft 2 will work just fine.
