Default XP Display Issue With Access 2K

1. Try reinstalling Access
2. If the 50 other machines aren't running XP Pro, this might be the problem
3. Your color profiles should list your monitor and applications you need.
Anything "foreign" should be deleted.
4. Finally, and this is really a stab in the dark, but see if Access is
compatible with your graphics controller.

Seems if it was a degauzing issue, all images on the monitor would be wrong.
As it is, it is just Access froms and reports that are displayed on the
screen.

I can not say for certain, but I did see the exact same problem as

yours
on
an Access DB I created.
Unfortunately the IT manager would not let me change any settings.

I will check. But, if this setting were not correct would other

programs
not display incorrectly?

Thanks.

Check to see if any (ICM) color profiles have been added or changed
from
the
profile listed
(if there is one shown inside the "Color profiles currently

associated
with
this device" box).

I am running Access 2K on an XP Pro machine. The background color

for
the
switchboard startup screen and all forms/screens are white, not

their
regular colors. There are many versions of this applications

running
on
at
least 50 machines and we have never seen this problem. Further,

all
reports
that display to the screen have a gray background -- not white.

When
printed to a printer they are okay. I checked the desktop

property
settings
for Windows and they all seem normal. And, this computer is not
having
problems with any other programs. The only Office program on the
machine
is
Access 2K.

Any ideas?

Thanks.
