I also noticed that you can't alt+tab from the game and then go back, this will mess up the colors and the graphics to an unplayable state. Playing in windowed mode isn't that bad however. I can check the internet, chat with people etc. when playing which is quite nice for a turn based strategy.
If you have the CD then full-screen Windowed mode is the recommended full-screen way to play.

Precisely because it is all cuddly-friendly with the other windows stuff, you have your task bar with the clock and email notifications etc all there.

You just have to fiddle with the "scroll sensitivity zone" to find a pixel setting that suits you.

(And its not a "turn based strategy" game, it is a tactical game. You are not building factories or dealing with national government... )
