update your video card drivers

nope doesn't work...

Sounds like your card is overheating, or it's just need to update your driver.

Starcraft 1 on windows 7 does this. There is no fix. Don't worry though, the colors are fine once you actually get in game.

Oh, I thought he was talking about sc2. I wish Blizzard would fix the colors in SC1 for win7.

i dunno. maybe run the game in win-xp compatibility mode lol.
this fixes most all things that refuse to run normally in vista/7

The colors only mess up after I play for a while and opening the menu and pressing random buttons (in the menu) helps sometimes. Also whenever I try to play it on my 1900x1200 screen the resolution forgets up and leaves out some parts (like your build menu and the amount of resources you have) so I have to make my smaller monitor my main screen and then play starcraft and then put it back. This is why playing starcraft feels more like a chore to me so I don't do it often.

Try running as admin and see if that works. i had the same issue on windows vista.

You can't play Starcraft 1 on Windows 7 without it screwing up. Get Starcraft 2.

Starcraft 2 lacks that starcraft feel. Its a like a futuristic warcraft 3 with rock paper sisscors.
