With Windows 7 (64-bit), the game could run just fine, but with color issues as if we had suddenly forgotten what the color of the grass looked like (green, right?).
In order to resolve this issue, the only thing we were left with was to press Ctrl+Alt+Del and close explorer.exe or of course do it by making a batch file that automatically took care of the problem. No further solution was given by Microsoft, no further attempt was made.
