Pariah164 Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 So, I installed an older game on my computer (virus free), only to have it keep crashing. I gave up and uninstalled it. But now, I have a whole new set of problems.My highlight color has changed from blue to black, I have inexplicable black lines in places that shouldn't have them, words that SHOULD be gray are scrambled, and even my Firefox is affected. I'm not sure how to fix this... Here's a screencap:The Problem, screencapped.Can someone PLEASE help me? Thanks in advance.
AdvancedSetup Posted September 5, 2008 Posted September 5, 2008 You may want to start off by reinstalling your video card drivers. Maybe this old game installed an old VGA driver or some setting that is interfering with your current drivers.
deep@cn Posted September 6, 2008 Posted September 6, 2008 i am sorry to hear that and i am a new man in this field.so sorry....
TranceEnergy Posted September 6, 2008 Posted September 6, 2008 (edited) Goto display properties: appearance:select advanced: and check what menu item looks like.Also i have seen your problem happen when some programs one tries to change color of compressed files, that are blue by default, as you said blue, and so one changes color of that, and it also changes color of other things, which very well could be the case here.I know for a fact that X-setup and other programs have this tweak wrong, ie it works, but it doesnt work because it changes other things as well.Why it does that, i dont know, it might be interference with active desktop or not, classic win3.11 desktop mode or many other things.
