I've given up trying full screen mode that causes all the random colours in Win7 making it look so bad. Oh and was there ever a fix for the mouse flickering? thanks PH

I have also tried the 1280 x 1024 x 256 resolution on my WinXP desktop and gotten the same result, but I always thought that it was because my monitor was too small to accept the higher resolution (or something else). I thought it might also be my own ancient system, that does not allow for higher resolution.
I am not certain what you mean by 'random colours in Win7'. Do you have a screenshot of the effect? I know that Full Screen mode with widescreen monitors can result in some very strange / elliptical shapes, when there should be circles on my WinXP desktop.
I also run H3 v3.6 on a Win7 Pro laptop and find no problem with the window mode. I have also tried it in full window mode and did not find any problem with either elongation or mis-shapen images. I think that the game automatically selected the highest resolution (1280 x 1024 x 256) and there was no problem.
I did see some mouse flickering, but it was only when I was in window mode and moving the mouse between the Harpoon window and other desktop icons. I did not notice any flickering in Full window mode.
With regards to the mouse flickering, you might try changing the Mouse Speed via the Harpoon.ini file or with the Harpoon3.6 Launcher.

If you have other problems, you can also try the 'Run in Compatibility' mode offered by the latest Windows versions.
