    is it possible to suspend explorer.exe processes as ZC launches?

    I was wondering if you can make ZC suspend all Explorer.exe processes while ZC has focus but resume the processes when not in focus? Or is such a thing just not possible with your code base D:

    It's what one of the coders for Worms Armageddon did to fix the vast majority of colour corruption situations under Vista/7.
    Computer specifications:
    Windows 10 Pro x64 | Intel Core i7 @ 2.66GHZ | Asus P6T Motherboard | 6GB DDR3 RAM | Integrated Sound | Nvidia Geforce 560 Ti 2048MB PCI-E | Corsair AX760 Power Supply | Thermaltake Armor+ MX case

    It should be possible, but then you wouldn't be able to switch out if the game hangs. Don't want that.

    I made a modified alleg42.dll that I hope will fix the color problem, but I haven't heard if it works yet. Here, try it.

    No, that does not solve it.
