I thought I posted this message a short while ago, but I guess I hit the wrong key!

When I turned our computer on this morning everything was fine, but when I came back to it this afternoon I found that everything seems to be in a shade of pink with vertical lines running across the entire monitor.  The colour of this web site at the moment is a peach colour.  The task bar is pink; most of the icons on the desktop are shaded in pink and those that aren't are shaded in green.

We're running XP professional, I think SP2.

Help!!

Cheers

Sounds like your Monitor is failing, how old is it?

[Pen]

Thanks for replying so quickly, Neonwizard.  The monitor's an Acer and it's less than 12 months old.  As soon as you said it appeared to be "dying", I vaguely recalled one of the monitors at work dying and it went pink.

You might still have warranty on that monitor, there is usually a phone number on the warranty card that you can call and they'll tell you where you can get it fixed or if it's a factory a free replacement, well worth checking out.

If you do have another monitor you could do a test just to make sure it's the monitor and not the video card.

Thanks again.  We do have another one we can test.
