Guide: Another fix for fullscreen colours and Alt+Tab

[JiminyJickers]

I just bought the game and I am loving it. I'm running Win 7 64-bit.

I don't like playing in Windowed mode and I always Alt+Tab out of games to look at the manual, search the internet etc., so the solution of killing explorer.exe doesn't allow me to do very much. I tried a couple of the other solutions stickied but they didn't allow me to Alt+Tab either without the colours messing up.

Through a bit of research, I have found an odd solution to the problem, which allows me to play full screen and Alt+Tab without the colours messing up. I use Win 7 64-bit so don't know if it works on other systems (or if it is necessary on other systems).

There are 3 steps:

1. Right click on the desktop and select "Screen Resolution", this Window needs to stay open while running the game.
2. Right click desktop and select "Personalize", change your desktop to a solid colour from the drop down menu.
3. Edit the Win7SPMBT.cmd and Win7SPMBTxmap.cmd files and remove all the lines except the ones starting with "start/w" (Either delete the other lines or put REM at the start of the line).

Now I can play full screen without and I can Alt+Tab without the colours messing up.

Cheers.
