The Color 'Red' is missing
If this is the wrong 'forum', please let me know and also where to turn.
Since I'm using WinME, I figured it would be worth a try: In Properties/Settings under 'Colors' the color red is now completely missing, while at first it sporadically changed back to 'normal' with all colors present. This makes the display appear greenish and the former blue purplish. Otherwise no changes. It seemed to coincide with the loss of my 'WinZip' (just a guess). Does this indicate the monitor going bad'? Or is the cause somewhere else? If it can be fixed, please let me know. Harry. |

The Color 'Red' is missing
Harry, please expand :-
In Properties/Settings under 'Colors' the color red is now completely missing, Do you mean that you ONLY see these 'sporadically change' whilst using the Properties/Settings utility window? Or do you really mean that 'under normal conditions' i.e. when you are using your PC (in Normal Mode), running any application, the red 'sporadically changes' under all circumstances? If the latter, then VERY unlikely to do with WinZip. But could be due to a failing monitor (a gentle but firm thump of the monitor might show any symptoms of dry joints) OR a failing Video Cable (Check the VGA cable ends are secured correctly) or a failing/loose Video Card - Hey! haven't you just been playing with your AGP - or whatever - Video Card very recently??

The Color 'Red' is missing
OK Harry, after eliminating your red-herrings ('scuse the pun) then you're
back to my original practical troubleshooting suggestions :- could be due to a failing monitor (a gentle but firm thump of the monitor might show any symptoms of dry joints) Does the colour change if you 'percussion test' (thump!) your monitor? Have you tried substituting your monitor? OR a failing Video Cable (Check the VGA cable ends are secured correctly) Did you confirm the security (tightness) of VGA cable connectors? Can you try a spare VGA cable? or a failing/loose Video Card. You might have to go 'under-the-hood' to check that out - although I'm still not sure whether your video card is part of your motherboard. ( gotta say.. so long ME) Have you actually tried any of these troubleshooting tests Harry? From this distance, it certainly sounds like a hardware issue with your monitor being the favourite.

The Color 'Red' is missing
To sum it up, Mart, I haven't tried the 'thumping' or any of the other interferences, since there is no reason for it to become loose. When I started up now, everything is ok., but later on, mostly when I'm connected with Yahoo or Google, it will happen again, I'm sure. Seems like the green is missing in the color scheme too. Happen to notice an ISP Installer - ISP6300 along the way. Is it legitimate, or what? Cannot find specific connections to any of my programs. My monitor going south is the most likely cause, but then it shouldn't be going back to normal, as it did now, should it? The model is an NEC MultiSync 3FGx. It's still 'good' at the moment and I will hang in there, until I find a solution. Please dont be angry with me for not troubleshooting yet, Mart. I may have to eventually and trying another monitor was my first thought. But somehow things seem to point in another direction in my view. Isn't there a way to manipulate the color scheme?

Especially the CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) variety, including TV sets. I had a ten-year-old Zenith monitor lost the blue gun. I have a fifteen-year-old Zenith TV which is losing the red gun.

Harry,.......stop being a "wuss" and either do what Mart says or try a
different monitor. It will not get any better if you just ignore it. And if you are not willing to take the advice of your betters on here, then don't ask the questions. Capish??

Heat, dry joints, component aging, high temperatures, (very) high voltages, heat, adjustable resistors (potentiometers) 'wiper contact' becomes unreliable. dust, btw - did I mention heat?

Happen to notice an ISP Installer - ISP6300 along the way. Is it legitimate, or what? Dunno Harry, sorry. Cannot find specific connections to any of my programs. My monitor going south is the most likely cause, but then it shouldn't be going back to normal, as it did now, should it? Intermittent faults are a sure sign of an impending failure - expensive or inexpensive! The model is an NEC MultiSync 3FGx. I guess that would make it some 8 or more years old It's still 'good' at the moment and I will hang in there, until I find a solution. The operative word being 'moment' Solution? - consider a TFT monitor. You can carry that forward to your next PC when your WinMe box finally expires. Whatever you do, DO NOT attempt to open your monitor to play about within it. There are some VERY dangerous voltages floating about under the casing. Either get it fixed professionally or buy a new Flat Screen - you'll probably find that the TFT is cheaper in the long run. Please dont be angry with me for not troubleshooting yet, Mart. How could anyone be angry with you Harry? Frustrated? Maybe, Angry? Never! I may have to eventually and trying another monitor was my first thought.
