Screen color problem
My friend has a Compaq Presario laptop running XP and a problem has
developed with the screen colors. Some parts of the screen show light blue/greenish e.g IE title bar, desktop taskbar, etc. Pictures look strange i.e. grainy in places and odd colors with an excess of the light blue/greenish color. Changing from 32 to 16 bit makes no difference. Any advice please? -- thanks, miraglo -- |

Screen color problem
My daughter's Tosh laptop has also developed strange colour (total red on
blank screen, reverts to near-normal when XP boots). Reply to recent post in this NG was that the laptop's video is on it's way out ... expensive repair in the near future! Not good news. Sounds like you have similar prob - hope you're still in warranty (mine's just outside). Good luck! Len "miraglo" wrote in message ...

Screen color problem
Thanks Len. Just discovered it's under 3 year extended warranty (it's 2.5
years old), so she should be able to get whatever it is fixed that way. -- "yabbadoo" wrote in message ... | My daughter's Tosh laptop has also developed strange colour (total red on | blank screen, reverts to near-normal when XP boots).
