When I go to change the display, my only choices are 2 colors and 8 colors.  Do I need some kind of driver or something?  It worked before.

Yes, you need to download & install the updated video card drivers for your video card.

Have you attempted to reinstall the drivers?\n\nAlso, run a test page and see if it does the same thing?\n\nLastly, print a picture, does it miss part of the picture?

Hit the 'F11' key.  Should help. it's a full screen/regular screen mode change key.  Handy for playing games.

Don't be confused. Your laptop has sure a monitor output and a tv output. This second monitor you see installed is \nused when you connect a second monitor or TV . Go to advanced settings and select your graphic driver. Then try to adjust your graphic propotites.

Check the driver for your video card.  If you go to compaq's web site and go into the support section.\n\nLook up the model number of your computer, they should have various drivers available for it.  \n\nOne of those will most likely be your video card driver.  Install that and you'll most likely have more than 16 colors again.

If all turns green then you have a lack of red. could be an issue with the monitor or the graphics card. can you see elsewhere (not in WMP) any red spot on your monitor?\nbefore uninstalling and reinstalling drivers and software do a little test - open WordPad, write a few letters and set them to red - do they show up in red?

Change the direction in which your monitor faces and see if there is any difference.\n Make sure you have not placed any speakers near your monitor as this may cause color patches on your screen. \n\nNext check to see if you have plugged in the signal cable connector properly and screwed it tight. A loose signal cable can cause color distortion.

For some video cards, there are settings where you can make certain colors appear more vibrant than others. Check your monitor settings in Control Panel -> Display -> Advanced.

The problem may lie in your video card settings.  \n(Windows) Right click on the desktop (anywhere), a dialogue box will pop up, scroll down to and click 'properties' > then click 'Settings' tab > then click 'Advanced' button > and depending on your video card manufacturer (ATI is mine) there should be a setting (or tab) for 'color'    [based on wide varieties of video cards, I can't get too specific here, but look for someplace to adjust color, possibly Gamma settings as well...\n\nOR...]   \n\nFind out who makes your video card (START > CONTROL PANEL > SYSTEM > HARDWARE (tab) > DEVICE MANAGER > and click the "+" sign next to "display adapters"  -  it should say something like "ATI (blah, blah); or nVidia (blah, blah)"  [write the whole device name down just in case] )and then get out of all that back to the desktop, click START > PROGRAMS (or all programs) and find a program in that list with the same name (ie ATI, Nvidia, etc.) and click it - there may be a program installed by them to help make managing display related stuff easier.\n\nhope this helps!!

you have to disable the other video card drivers first. than insert the CD and load the new drivers/ screen res is probably not correct. or there is a jumper that needs to be changed. good luck.

This is a classic problem.\nVGA signal needs cabling for Red, Green & Blue (RGB).\nIf you miss any of them you'll see exactly what you describe (tint of red, green or blue)\nThe fact that you were changing the cable often is a further hint that this is the problem.\n\nEither your cable is broken, or any of the connectors do not connect well. Start by slowly turning the cable to see whether it gets fixed. If it does, just buy a new vga cable. if not, then start fiddling with the connectors. If there in no change at all, it may well be the connectors inside your monitor. \n\nIf you dont have any electronics experience (which I assume you dont) you better give it to a repairman to solder the loose connection. Please do not attempt to fix it yourself because open CRT monitors (like TV's) have very dangerous and exposed capacitors that can easily kill you - even if the monitor is switched off.

Try right clicking on ur desktop, \n\nselect:\n\ndisplay modes \n\ntrue colour \n\n1024X768\n\nIt depends on ur PC. This applies to a 15inch monitor. It will be different on other monitors.\n\nIf thats not the case, then your laptop is in safemode, which you can easily convert back into normal mode, by restarting and select F8 or F10.

Are you using Internet Explorer?  If you are, you can to to the Tools>Internet Options.  This will bring up a box with multiple tabs. Look in the lower left corner, there will be a button with the text "Colors..." Click on it and make sure the checkbox next to "Use Windows colors" is checked. Hope this helps; if this doesn't, I'll need more info.
