Happy to hear you got it working. 
For the sake of anyone else with these questions, I'll answer these:
Some newer versions of Windows (particularly Windows Vista and Windows 7) have a problem displaying colors properly in 256-color palette games, which makes the screen look like a confetti explosion of neon colors in random places. It isn't pretty and makes the game unplayable.
I don't know exact numbers right now but I'd guess roughly one-third of Windows PCs active at this time are running Windows 7, so the problem is common enough I wanted to include the color fixes, since having them and not needing them hurts nothing (they're very tiny files) and do nothing unless used.
Most people will want the 64-Bit color fix, but a few users may have an uncommon 32-Bit version of Vista or Windows 7. If you're not sure which you have, try the 64-Bit first, then the 32-Bit; using the wrong one will do no harm.
Anyhow, enjoy!
