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.
Only launch explorer after exiting the game batch session - since aero is nuked, deliberately, to avoid palette problems.

Do you have a non-English version of windows, or is the \windows folder installed elsewhere than C:\windows, or renamed?.

Are you running as a user with administrator privileges (the default for most folks who just use the one account), or as a lesser status user?.

Cheers
