I'm not sure what changed becasue I can't duplicate the problem today, but this is what I am noticing now:

1. When launch from the shortcut that takes you to the Game Options screen, you lose the task bar whether using full screen or windows.

a) Either way, you can control-alt tab to other programs and then back to to the game.

b) I used the "new" task button to recreate explorer.exe as suggested. That returned the task bar even while the game was still running.

c) However, if I did this while in full screen mode, the color palette was all messed up and could not be fixed.

d) If I do this while in Windowed mode, then the color palette is not destroyed.

2. When launch directly from Win7SPMBT.cmd, I get same results as above.
