Progress has its price, of course. And to think there was a time when a 40 MHz processor and 8 MB RAM were enough to run anything. We've come a loooong way.

So, what workaround do you use - maybe it can be helpful for me as well ;)

What I usually do is to kill the explorer.exe process - this solves nearly all of my DirectDraw issues (works like a charm for Diablo, StarCraft, etc.). Occasionally I get black screens, but they are fixed by quickly Alt-Tabbing out and back into the game. This is especially true of JK's menu.
