As already mentioned somewhere on these forums - either WW2 or MBT, does not matter. If you have an O/S query, check both fora.

Avast happens to be the virus checker I use. Avast has a globe-spinny thing in the task tray (or several, depending on how you set it up). It seems to play with the Windows 256 colour palette as used in full screen mode, even though it should only be spinning its globe in windows mode. It also tries to pop up windows for e.g. database updates in full screen modes. The answer of course is to start the avast options dialogue and find the check box for 'check for full screen applications (eg games) ... ' in "troubleshooting" and check that box, since it is not the default Avast behaviour!.

Doing that has made it less often that the palette gets messed up if you alt-tab out to windows from full screen mode. It still does, and it definitely seems to be avast since XP was pretty stable about it before I installed it. It seems to be the spinning globe, and avast has no check box for 'don't spin your irritating globe icon in full screen mode'...

The original poster did not mention if he was talking about full screen or windowed mode, helpful information to have since they use entirely different palette handling methods. But my bet is full screen mode.

Cheers
Andy
