Program fixes broken colors under vista/Windows 7 with games using DirectDraw.
1. Press "Patch"
2. Choose "starcraft.exe" from your game folder
3. Close w7ddpatcher.
4. That is all, no silly scripts killing explorer.exe
How does it work? Author speaking:
<mudlord> it adds some entries to the registry for compatibility
<mudlord> It does not patch the EXE
<mudlord> it intercepts the directdraw ID, etc
<mudlord> source is in there
Works with other games exhibiting this issue (Fallout, Fallout 2, Diablo, etc),
