So I bought the SC 1 Anthology (vanilla + broodwar) and downloaded and installed the latest version from battle.net.
Now I unfortunately after a few minutes I will get rainbow colors and the registry patch from this thread did not fix it . I use windows 7 pro 64bit service pack 1. The rainbow colors are gone when I tab out and back in once, but after a minute or so they are back again. So I'd appreciate any tips and suggestions what I can try, since I really want to enjoy the sc1 story before hots release .
go to desktop, (i.e have nothign on your screen) right click on the background, click the tab where you can change your resolution, than start the game or altab back in.
Even with the colorfix, sometimes, when you're in the channel, the colors will go wild, but it should work well in game etc. When colors go wild I just alt tab out and then back into the game and the colors are fixed.
Hm thanks for the help, sadly none of it works, I can fix it by alt tabbing out and back in, but after 30 secs the colors are messed up again.
Edit: Haha I can't believe but it works now. I just used the windows problem solver and it suggested starting the game with XP SP2 mode, now it works. So simple lol.

no idea, but try searching your monitor settings (the buttons on the physical monitor), a lot of the newer monitors have that.
sorry if im late, but i applied the fix in the first post and its giving me some problems, would any of you be so kind and tell me how i can reverse it?
Would it be possible to sticky this post, or at least have a stickied thread with a link to the registry files? I have to use this registry fix whenever I install Brood War on a new computer, and it would be convenient to have the links in an easy-to-find place.
Here's a guy in youtube with his fix for rainbow color problems. It worked for me! You can save the file into your starcraft folder if you want.
If you like having shortcuts like me, just create a shortcut of the bat file and rename it StarCraft - Brood War then change the icon with the one that came with the game. Just click properties on your shortcut file and change icon. Browse for your Brood War .exe file and just copy that file's icon.

He poorly assumes that you didn't change your directory for StarCraft nor tried this color fix in the reg file.
Pardon me for bumping this, but I'm having trouble with having this installed and playing on the ICCup server.
It doesn't do this on West/East server, but when I'm on ICCup server I get this "white screen" pretty frequently. + Show Spoiler +
The only way to get this to go away is to join/create a game and leave. Or alt-tab back in and out of StarCraft.
Anyone know how to fix this? Or perhaps find the "registry" file that I downloaded from this thread on my computer and remove it? I want to see if this is the problem. Thanks in advance, fellas.

I have the exact same problem. It only does that when I have Firefox open. When I use internet explorer it's fine. Really weird.

plugin-container.exe from Firefox causes this problem
