fun fact

In windows 7, if starcraft or age of empires 2 get funky colors when you play them, just run the screen resolution dialog and alt tab back in.

Presto, perfect colors.

Don't ask me why, I have no idea.

Another solution is killing explorer.exe before running SC and restarting it once you're done playing. Kind of inconvenient though.

I always had this problem with vista and used the same solution.

It's happened maybe once every few months even with XP, so it's probably just something between older 256-color games and how the post Windows 9x OSes deal with them.  Still, it beats seeing a blue screen every 2 days because you Stimpacked your Marine.

Really only ran into it if something tried to minimize it from the background a long time ago, I can't remember it happening again since I started using XP and now Vista.
