As far as the black screen / color thing goes ... I had the same problem. You have to make sure no other programs are running in the background when playing spwaw - it's a CPU hog, Especially screensaver programs !! I found that unless I disable my webshots screen saver, I get all sorts of psychedelic colors popping up at inoppurtune moments ... after a blackout of course [8D][8D]

I solved the problem in a different way. Someone can probably tell me why this was a bad idea. I had the same problem with 8.0 and 8.2, the color corruption. I'm running XP and simply changed the compatibility setting for SPWAW to run in 256 colors. The color corruption stopped and I saw no difference in the way the game looks on my computer. Frankly I should probably try your advice and turn off my screensaver, which is one like yours, though.
