i found my descent freespace game and decided to reinstall it and theres some weird stuff going on. the in game menus are all rainbowie and the in-game space is all rainbowie too. i used the compatibility mode for windows 98 and marked run in 256 colors, run in 640 x 480 screen resolution and disabled visual themes and that fixed it for a while but after the next cutscene played it screwed up again. im trying to run it on windows 7 64-bit system.

i cant find any info anywhere, i'm stumped
