Indeed. I don't recall ever having felt the need to plonk anyone in this
NG before. I could be mistaken, I often am, but if so it would have been
some years ago.

Some do, some don't George - seems to depend on their make and more so,
their age.

If Harry's screen is a CRT, it will not show any information
i.e. no screensaver or "Have no signal".

I explained that in my earlier post, H. Simply turn on your monitor,
without turning on the cpu....you can leave everything connected. Your
monitor should have some sort of screen saver built in that will inform
you that you "have no signal" and "the monitor is working
properly"....usually, a small window of varying colors that moves around
on the screen. Additionally, you should have access to the menu of
settings which includes the color adjustments, skew, brightness, contrast,
etc. If these menu items and the screen saver message are of proper
color, then the problem is with something other than your monitor, i.e.
the video cable, the connections or the video card and/or the integrity of
its' seating. If the color is okay in the monitor only test, try first
reconnecting the video cable at both ends. If this does not help, then
try 'reseating' the video card (taking proper precautions of disconnecting
power and grounding yourself to the case or suitable ground so as not to
destroy any static sensitive devices).

If the color is out of whack in the monitor only test, you have a bad
monitor and, as stated by someone earlier, don't waste your money getting
a CRT fixed. Bite the bullet and get an LCD....they are getting pretty
cheap now. If the video cable is at fault, you can 'usually' reproduce
the symptoms by moving or wiggling the cable and connections. If this
fails to help, you are left with swapping the video card.....they, too,
are getting pretty cheap.......you could probably find someone that will
give you one of their old 32 or 64Meg cards that is still working well.

Suggest you go back through the pertinent portions of this thread, all
the suggestions seem to have been valid.

Well, old sock.....I can think of one you might have plonked....I did.
But sometimes it is better to keep an eye on them to see what terrible
advice they give, for instance.

Hey! We agree on something! Krispy Kreme must have been invented by

ACK!! Scary!! KK Donuts opened with a big media campaign near me and I
couldn't believe how awful they were.......pure greasy sugar!! (G) You
will have to taste our Tim Hortons ones. I was checking Timmies out on
Google and you do have several in the US.

Trivia.....Horton was an NHL hockey player who unfortunately was
drinking and driving his Pantera at 100 miles an hour when he hit a
concrete bridge abutment. Died instantly. He never lived to see the
success of his franchise.

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.

Klap (hit lightly) the monitor; it may be a dry joint is cutting out
the red color gun. Also, check the pins in the plug that plugs the
monitor's signal lead into the PC; it may be that pin(s) corresponding
to the red signal are bent out of their correct path.

Does this indicate the monitor going bad'?

As above. If CMOS Setup also looks blue-purplish, then it's most
likely the monitor or its cabling.

Mine did...........all three of them. Odd. Even at that, would the menu
button not respond?? I would think it should.

There is no menu button on my monitor, H.
Instead I have a "Pin Cushion" button and a "Degauss Switch", besides the
vertical and horizontal adjustments.
With a bit of luck, that degauss switch may just be my answer, we'll see.
