Alternate fix for the full screen colors in win7

[Rosollia]

I found later that non-map game interface (purchase screen, encyclopaedia, scenario list, saved game list, etc etc) still suffer from permanent distorted color if alt-tabbed.

I do not use alt-tabbing much myself so I had not noticed the issue with the game interface colors not returning after alt-tab but it is true.

Even in one instance (just now), when purchasing units in unit purchase screen, the color was distorted WITHOUT even going out of game/alt-tab.

I have not experienced that on my computers but it would be a problem indeed. Perhaps it has to do with some background program or process.

Sorry Rosollia, but I think killing explorer.exe is still the best method of playing fullscreen. If I think I will be multi-tasking, I'll just load the necessary programs before firing up SP in fullscreen.

No problem it is good to hear the feedback.

I think this is a rare occurrence. Yea perhaps it was my firewall program in the background popping asking for an update.
But this fix is useful for those who don't like killing explorer.exe for whatever reason. Personally it still "scratches" my mind to kill explorer exe then revive it again then kill it again, revive it again.
