    Subject: AOE2 Toxic Waste on Vista 64 bit

    So, I've run into this graphics problem where whenever I play AOE2, the coloring on the display gets really wacked out and my ships swim through purple seas and my villies walk on red grass  (it's all neon, hence the "toxic waste" nickname)

    It's really freaky.  Anyways, I know that this is somewhat of a prevalent issue, seeing that it happens to other people.  But the solutions I found online don't really give a definite way to fixing the problem

    I've found things ranging from setting display color to 16 bit (which only works temporarily), to actually disabling my graphics card (wtf)

     

    Does anyone know what to do?

    I really like this game :D  (btw I do have AOE3, don't ask why I'm still playing AOE2)

    Minimize the game and re-open it, the colors should then return to normal.

    Woot it works, although there still seems to be a bit of driver trouble, the game lags more easily
