winSPMBT and WinSPWW2 and VISTA

OK, I've had a similar report from one of our playtesters.

Did you upgrade to Vista or buy a new machine with it installed?

Have been running full screen mode winspww2 just fine on Vista. Had trouble with running folding@home at the same time, as the winspww2 kept getting minimized. Shutting down f@h solves this problem. Also, when something steals focus (for example, avg runs update) from winspww2, I get color distortion, but task switching to the desktop then back to the game solves this problem.

Interesting... so you're not noticing any slowdown with FS mode?

Was this an upgrade to Vista or a new machine?

OK lets try to add another piece to this puzzle.

You are getting colour distortion on full screen. What video card is in this machine?

OK, just curious but have you checked to see if there are any driver updates issued since Vista was released for that video card?
