So there I was, stuck playing starcraft in crappy colors yet again, as it has always been during my beta testing of windows 7. For what ever reason, I decided to leave screen resolution dialog box open and what do you know- starcraft runs with its beautiful original colors.
If anyone knows what I'm talking about
:
Symptoms:
Starcraft runs with
bright turquoise colors everywhere in the menu system. It looks rather psychedelic.
On vista, it intermittently happened, on Windows 7 it happens every time after the 1.16.00 patch installed.
Fix:
Simply
open up your screen resolution window before playing, and leave it open. Doing so will result in perfect colors ever time. The same for vista, just open up personalize. I have no idea why this works, but I've tested it many many times- you just open the window- nothing else.
I've reported it to MS and Blizzard- blizzard quickly blew me off though with a "WINDOWS 7 IS NOT SUPPORTED" email.
Hmm... nope, don't care about spelling.
enjoy SC lol!
