In any event, the best thing you can do is to help out another person coming along. Be happy to trade beers with you, though.

Ribob yours and others advice have helped pal,il try my best to help anyone else who's having any issues in getting EAW up and running. Cheers Russ il try find a link pal,I think I grabbed it off Marks page. It's a zip that contains an exe. The exe is in my EAW folder and you direct it to the EAW.exe. It then asks what version of Win 32 or 64 bit..click and voila no more "miscolored" graphics. I'm on my phone at the moment as soon has I'm on the PC il find the link pal.

Out f****** standing Welcome to the EAW Brotherhood we fly other sims but EAW is our go to girl and well worth the troubles..What is the direct draw compatability tool ?? Is it D3D windower?? So very sorry for the late reply Russ ..i got called out on a Emergency job and i only got back home only a few hrs ago here,s the link pal. http://www.mediafire.com/file/2d6y4d98e9hebq1/MenuScreenColorFix-DirectDrawComp-Vistaand7.7z/fileAw, If I got to this sooner, I may have been able to help.
I don't know what it is with Jels ini, but it always CTD the game for me, I have to delete it and let eaw.exe generate a new one.
Took me awhile to figure this one problem out, a painful 20 mins or so back in the 1.40 days.
Not sure if I added such info to my help site......have to check.
Anyhow glad Adger has his game running now. Thanks Mark,and thank you for your EAW page some excellent stuff in there pal
