I unzipped to my mbt folder and all I got was a winfx.dll, unless I had that already. After reading your reply I unzipped your file to a desktop folder, then copyed and pasted the win7fix.cmd into my spmbt folder. Now all works as it should. Thanks.

Seems to work on Vista 64. Got to find time to give it an extended test.

All I can say is it certainly seems to fix Vista for both games, cant speak for Win7

Just an update it appears though not enough people to confirm if you are willing to pay Microsoft will fix the problem, they need the money after all.
Win 7 is backwards compatible if you get the Pro Version, for all of you with Home tough you got shafted give us some money & upgrade.

Tried it under WinPro7 64-bit for both WinSPWW2 & WinSPMBT and it works as fix for Full Screen (if machine specs are interesting for you let me know).
Thanks to NCrawler for the idea & file

The fix cured the funky paletes. But the game itself runs very slow and choppy (full screen). Moving around the map is slow and tedious. AI movement and Artillery animations are also slow and choppy. If it was an FPS I might be tempted to say laaaaaag.

Getting there, keep at it. I'd love to pull my old XPpro machine off of the desk, I need the space.

Whoops forgot to mention. Runs like a champ in windowed mode just megasmall.

Looks like I'm finally forking over the dough. Well worth it for all the years of stress relief.

Don, Andy, thank you.

JUST,

Just found this file and thought I'd try it out. It works fine in full screen except scrolling and unit movement are messed up. Movement is in spurts, maybe 5 or so hexes, then a pause etc.

After reading the previous two posts I also tried it in a window and it worked fine. But it does anyway and very small. So it looks like this fix really doesn't do anything unless I want to play with very choppy graphics. I'd get the real version but just can't afford it.
