On Vista, if I ran Populous in full-screen mode under DosBox 0.73, it would occasionally redraw the screen with all the colours messed up. Now that I have "upgraded" to Windows 7, it does this all the time. I can only play the game with the right colours in windowed mode. I also get the same problem all the time in XP, I have dual boot. When the problem struck in Vista, I could just Alt-Enter twice and it would get the colours right, and it would not happen again for quite a while.
Any ideas why the colours might be getting messed up? I saw this occasionally with The Settlers II under Vista as well, not sure if it still happens, I will try it tonight.
