Windows 7 issue
I just upgraded from Vista to Windows 7 now the colors in WW2 and MBT are jumbled this happened occaionally with Vista but using Alt+Esc then restoring the game window would correct this but not so with Windows 7, anyone know how to correct this?

RE: Windows 7 issue
Run the game in windowed mode and it will be ok, that is what I had to do.

It runs fine if you run it as windowed, no need to use XP mode or anything else, just go into the SP game options and switch to windowed.

Try this link but as Weasel said windowed mode should cure it.
Also gives an unstretched view if you are on a widescreen monitor till the support for them comes out.

RE: Windows 7 issue
I prefer not playing windowed either, so I will go with the fix too. Although after playing for a month I am use to the poorer performance (mainly scrolling).

I'm still experiencing a little bit of a lag in game play but it's tolerable

I did not like windowed mode either but if you adjust the prefs slightly it works fine. Main problem I was having was scrolling to but works fine now & can keep an eye on other stuff without alt tabing all the time.

RE: Windows 7 issue
One issue in using this fix is if you use Alt+Esc to minimize the game like before it completely crashes your system, I've also had a couple of instances where game freezes up but not sure if that is related to the fix or not
