If you have installed the BETA game Options for MBT you will also have a file named Win7SPMBT.cmd

save your original Win7SPMBT.cmd either by renaming it ( such as XXWin7SPMBT.cmd ) or copying to another folder then run the attached Win7SPMBT.cmd and let me know if you see any difference.

ALSO, I would ask anyone trying this to run one test with GameOptions set to GAME MODE - DirectX and one test with it set to GDI and let me know if running GDI made any positive difference. Andy found in preliminary tests with his new Win7 laptop that using the GDI setting eliminated the occasional occurrence of "Psychedelic screen palette"


Just a reminder this needs to be extracted to your main winSPMBT folder

Thanks

Remember though

1) The command file is for FULL SCREEN mode in windows 7.

2) Using GDI as an option is for WINDOWED mode psychedelic palette problems in Windows 7.
On my new W7 laptop GDI mode is rock stable - and as a bonus no compatibility mode switches need be set (thus no irritating UAC advisor dialogue box).
