And the "shut down Explorer" kludge is just a TERRIBLE "fix" and one I never intend to allow to run again, as it basically means (to me) "log out and log back in" every time the game exits. Unfortunately, instead of using a separate "DirectDraw fix" and "CD-check fix," GoG stuck both into a single EXE. and yes, at any resolution I like, not merely the original one, though the bitmapped graphics will still look "crude" rather than HD). The one present in dgVoodoo works perfectly with Dark Reign (and allows me to have the game without any corruption, in proper 4:3, and even with anisotropic filtering and anti-aliasing. Many are custom-tweaked for a particular game, and others work with many applications. This is why you can find a TON of "directdraw wrappers" online these days. That is, if they'd simply allowed their "emulated DirectDraw" to use a separate pallet instead of the "shared system pallet." Of course, NONE of this would be an issue had Microsoft not removed DirectDraw from DirectX (it is "emulated" through a short routine in Direct3D, but imperfectly), or if they'd implemented their "emulation" in such a way that it did not share the "base system pallet" with Explorer and any other apps you may have running. I can only run programs by going to the task manager and every time i try to go to internet explorer, it freezes. Then after about 5 times, they completely disappear. The "shutting down explorer" kludge is a TERRIBLE solution to the issue they're addressing. Whenever I start up my computer, the desktop icons and toolbar on the bottom disappear then reappear every 10 seconds or so. It never brings them back though, as the program crashes every time playing, and the command to restart Explorer never gets sent. In my case, it does shut down the MAIN "explorer" instance," and wipes my desktop and taskbar away.

You may have noticed an option Windows provides, in various versions, to open each new window in a separate process. it's likely shutting down the first instance it encounters, and leaving other instances open.

GoblinFX: Anyone know why my desktop disappears when the batch file is supposed to kill explorer.exe and my desktop disappears, but explorer.exe is still running? And when the batch file is supposed to restart explorer.exe it just opens the explorer window.
