I stop the process = "explorer.exe", and when go to full screen inside dosbox = it [dont make] the text color bug.

After i made functionnal again "explorer.exe", and when go to full screen inside dosbox = it [make] the text color bug.

= Then it's not my Lcd screen, ... It's with "explorer.exe, and what it manage".

I will try to deactivate Aero and others acceleration, of Windows 7 RC.

(Edit) Aero disabled or, graphics change dont repair the bug.

Also, i test an other LCD Screen "Samsung Vga 17 inch. 4:3" = it make the same color bug.
