I wonder if someone have an update for quadra and make it work with
windows 7?

[pphaneuf]

It doesn't work on Windows 7? What's the behaviour? I do have a Windows 7 partition
nowadays (to play Modern Warfare 2!), but I'm not sure if it's big enough to load Visual
Studio on it...

[pphaneuf]

It's problem with the colors. To play works but it's not the same. I attach a
printscreen so u can see.

I have talked to a couple of my old quadra friends and all players using win 7 got
the same problem.

Hopefully it's just an easy fix?

[pphaneuf]

pphaneuf. have you find something?

[pphaneuf]

Isn't there a checkbox in the properties of a program in Windows 7 for various
compatibility modes? Did you try those?

[pphaneuf]

Yes but it doesnt work. I have tried a couples of compability modes but i get the
same result.

Hopefully u figure something out ;)

Compiling svn with the Visual C++ SDL project fixes this issue.

I had the same color issue with win7 32-bit and Quadra 1.2.0

I was able to fix it by following the instructions here:

The link to download the program to fix this issue at sevenforums.com is broken.

The new link is http://www.mudlord.info/crap/re/tools/w7ddpatcher-withsource.zip and it works. I just tested it on Win 7 x64 Pro
