Hello,

I have Windows 7 x64 build 7600 and I have been able to run diablo fairly well. However, when I alt+tab I get the color problem that happened occasionally in Windows XP. I am able to play the game without any problems while following these steps: run the setup.exe on the cd in compatibility for XP SP3 as well as administrator(before installation). Run Diablo.exe in the program files (x86)/Diablo directory the same but with 256 colors checked as well as 640X480 resolution. If anyone can find a way to get this game to work on Windows 7 x64 without the color problem after alt+tabbing that would be great. I know there is a fix for starcraft 1.16 where you edit the registry with the following...

"Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\DirectDraw\Compatibility\Starcraft116]
"Flags"=hex:00,08,00,00
"Name"="Starcraft.exe"
"ID"=hex:ca,89,65,49"

Happy Trails!!
