dude make sure your colors are set right (high) and monitor refresh too (if you are using a crt anyway), if it still doesn't work, you may be using a wrong driver.. help him out thaddeus!

If it seems like you're missing one color...make sure monitor connections are tight.

Pull out and reinsert the video card if the above fails.

Reinstall the latest driver (download from web) if above fails.

Test with a different monitor whenever possible.

No, I think something has changed with Rennlist since I first posted since it was only going on with Rennlist and Rennlist is now back to normal colors. It was pretty wierd, all the little characters and icons were different colors, the colors of everyone's star ratings were different, like red, yellow, blue, etc. It was strange. I thought John was trying to spice up the site.

at this point check it with pshop or some other graphics program for color aberrations. hopefully your card isn't going out. tell us what you got G!

os, card and/or chipset, monitor type, color setting (256, 1 million, 16 million, 16 bit, 32 bit, etc.), resolution setting, monitor refresh rate.

i have to say that i may not be so good of a wrench (not yet anyway) but i can at least that my forte is wintel box. (my sig is for thad. - did you include
HTML Code:
 and
? i suck at html btw)

first things first Ice check all the connections, we had a comp at work do something what you've descibed and it turned out that the moniter plug was comming out from the back of the moniter.

if that dont work shotgun it (not with a gun but in terms of trouble shooting)

Maybe you could click on the HTML / UBB enabled choice?

But hey, this ain't my area of knowing anything... my last computer repair consisted of whacking my recalcitrant keyboard across the edge of a stool, _hard_... front seam now gapes open, but key feel is _great_!

Jim, from the house where "damncomputer" is one word...
