The attachment contains a new GameOptions.exe and a .cmd file that will emulate what NCrawler did with his fix but will allow players to start the game from GameOptions.
I would ask that anyone who takes the time to DL this please take the time to report back on how it worked for you.
You will need to do the following
1/ Ensure you have SHOW INTRODUCTION already set to NO with your existing GameOptions. That's the first line on the first page when it loads.
2/ Go to wherever you have your game installed and rename your existing GameOptions.EXE to XXGameOptions.EXE to ensure if this does not work you still have a copy of GameOptions that works.
3/ Extract the attached ZIP file to where ever you have the game installed. It needs to be extracted to the main winSPMBT folder that your existing GameOptions.exe is already in.
4/ Start up GameOptions then press PLAY WINSPMBT. If you are running the game fullscreen and the NCrawler fix solved your palette issues with fullscreen mode this should work as well. If not, let us know
Thanks

Unfortunately, now that I have a Windows 7 development machine, this fix does not work due to some quirks in Windows batch file handling.
To cut a long story short

OK - A final rewrite of the CMD batch file seems to solve the problem when run from an external programme. (GameOptions in our case)
- If your Windows 7 or Vista machine is
not English then you may well have to edit the line
cd c:\windows to whatever your national language calls the Windows directory, if it differs.
I stumbled on this purely by accident just now - explorer.exe
does have entirely differing behaviour if started in the windows directory - an entirely undocumented feature...
Cheers
