Even i am not much familiar with this color issue but what i guess is that there might be some issue with your system . I meant your system might won't be meeting with the games requirements. Would like to suggest you to check the same. here it is:
- Microsoft Windows 95/98/Me/XP/NT 4.0 with service pack 5
- Multimedia PC with a Pentium 166 or higher processor
- 32 MB of Ram for Windows 95, 98, ME, 64 MB for Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 2000
- 80 MB of available hard disk space (in addition to the original Age of Empires II required disk); additional 100 MB of hard disk space for swap file
- Quad-speed or faster CD-ROM drive
- Super VGA with 2 MB of video memory
- Sound card, speakers or headphones required for audio
- Microsoft Mouse or compatible pointing device
Here it is, i guess it is not compatible with Vista. try to use it in XP compatibility mode. Hope it work fine.
