This is a strange one...I have a customer for whom background colors don't show up in either Firefox or IE. For example, check out msn.com. See how theres a blue background? For my client, that background shows as white.
Any thoughts? I couldn't find any settings to affect this issue.
Weird twist on a fairly basic problem - upgraded a motherboard on a windows XP system, ran repair install, and windows loads just fine. Click on a user account, windows says "you must activate to continue" and I click yes, windows loads the background image, and then fails to load the activation window. Safe mode doesn't work because windows is not yet validated, and windows is totally unresponsive to keyboard commands.
Anybody know this one?
UPDATE - Definitely a driver issue. Problem goes away when I uninstall nvidia drivers, comes back when I reinstall them.
I'm having a really strange hardware problem. I have a workstation with two displays, they're both identical V173 ACER monitors. The workstation has two graphics cards, identical GeForce 6200 cards. Both screens are connected through D-sub cables. However one screen is bright white, and the other is kind of a dull yellow.
I have controlled for the following factors:
1) I have tried a third screen on both cards and get the same problem, one will always appear yellow (even the one that was previous bright white).
2) I have reset both displays to factory defaults.
3) I have reset all display options in all control panels (the NVIDIA control panel and the windows display panel) to defaults.
4) I have tried different cables.
5) I have tried making different monitors primary and secondary.
6) I have tried another graphics card.
The only thing I know for sure is that whichever monitor is set to be the primary monitor will be the yellowish monitor. The other one will always be the bright white one.
Thoughts?
