Halp!

[rushyrulz]

I'm having some computer trouble... Everything has a shadow on it. See picture below:



If you know how to fix it and/or how it got there, please tell me! It's not my style.

Re: Halp!

Try resetting the color balance. I did the same thing yesterday.

Re: Halp!

Howsoever would I go about attempting that??

Re: Halp!

Change it to 32 Bit. Or, if it already is, change it to 16 then back to 32. I'll go do it myself now and give you step-by-step.

Re: Halp!

K, I have a 2000, so it may be a tad different.

start > settings > control panel > display > settings > alt+c > pick True Color 32 Bit.

If it already says 32, select 16, reboot, do over the process except pick 32.

Re: Halp!

Didn't help. I still got ugly shadows on everything. Could it be a virus possibly?

Re: Halp!

Ohhh. That solved my problem. Thanks.

I'm still quite bummed. I guess I'll have to live with it.

Re: Halp!

Try... Well, use those buttons on your monitor to adjust the contrast if you haven't yet.

Or:

start > control panel > settings > display > troubleshoot > find what's wrong/search for it in the search tab (alt+s).

Or, change the brightness on your monitor.

Or, when you go into the troubleshoot, find restart in safe mode.

Re: Halp!

Know what's amazing for tech issues? Google.

Possible solutions from Google: Interference from cables lying across the ones running to your display, nearby speaker (magnetics could **** with the display), bad quality cables.

Re: Halp!

I could be wrong but I'm thinking he's tried Google already, lol.

Re: Halp!

put the source of light in front of the screen that way the shadow disappears on its own

Re: Halp!

Lol. you guys are taking it all wrong. It's miraculously fixed overnight... idkhow, but it's gone now. It wasn't a physical problem, it must have been some kind of design available to the computer or something, it was weird. Whatever, it's fixed now. Thanks for helping/trying.
