Just for reference here is a link to an interesting Blog article I found on the net which deals with the color issues on Vista/Win7.
http://go.hopx.net/2010/05/256-color...tdraw-and.html

It details information on an alternate way of fixing the colors instead of closing explorer.exe.

I thought this was well writen and informative so I wanted to share it here.

Already mentioned in posts 8 onwards of this thread:

And the method is already rejected, since end users are not 'hackers' and cannot be expected to manually edit the registry every time the exe changes on a patch.

In any case - totally unnecessary by the end of next week when the 5.5 patch will be released, as it uses the batch file method, integrated in the GameOptions programme launcher.
