Still got a slight computer color problem

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Countryside : One Thread

Had a problem last weekend that seemed to be a stuck in safe mode situation. Turned out to be only a look alike and was setting for color had jumped from 256 colors to only 16 all by itself. So I reset to 256 and things are pretty good--except it just does not have as clear of display of photos. And some colors seem abit off. Also, when I click to go to internet explorer on first startup, the blue and white cloud background, for a second, turns red and purple shades, then on to a different shade of blue and gray.

Any ideas of other settings that may be messed up? Don

Trying running in "True Color" as opposed to 256 color. To change:

1. right click on your desktop
2. choose "properties"
3. Go to the tab at the top and choose "settings"
4. Under the color pull down - choose "true color (32 bit)"
5. click "apply" and your done.
