I haven't played the original Starcraft in a long time.. so after I installed it in Windows 7 the game showed up like the colors were all dithered, almost like 256. I tried all of the "compatibility mode" settings in Windows 7 but no go.

I then tried this simple fix and it worked! :D Just keep the Windows 7 Monitor resolution window open before you start StarCraft and it will play perfectly. Pretty awesome fix.. :nod:

Another way is to use the Chaos launcher, which allows you to run it in a window.
