This is one game that although I didn't get to play until 3-4 years ago and have played without much problems a few runs now, but now, when I play at sporatic times the colors are all wonky and I'm not sure how to fix it. 

Since I'm not sure how to explain it, and it was fine until yesterday. here's a screencap:

Weird...

I don't know if this will help, but there's an improved installer on the Sierra Help website.

Googling for an answer returned your question on the GameBoomers site. One of the answers there has a broken link - this is the correct link:

When I try installing the patch, it asks for the CD, and I don't have one.  I have the GOG version of the game.  I did also post on GOG's forum and the only reply I got is Run the game in Glide (with a wrapper such as dgVoodoo 2, Zeckensack's, or nGlide; in that order) or DirectX mode. The game's software mode uses 256 colors, when the pallet gets reset by Windows the colors get screwed up like that.

I do have Zeckensacks glide installed, but I'm not sure how to run the game in/with it

I did just install a package of VooDoo from 2007 and opened the game and walked around in the snow (my recent save is in the frozen region) and so far it's working normal

[edit]
So far it seams to be going well with VooDoo, and I even finished the frozen region, but caught a snag. I'm in the paradise mini-realm and every time I place the white crystal pyramid on the pyramid in the alter, when it asks if I want to load the new region and I click yes, it's freezes for about ten seconds and then crashes to the desktop. I've tried third person view, first person view, walk, run, forwards, backwards, but no matter what, the same happens

Are you sure you didn't just go to Kolyma by mistake? ;)
