Usually a very good indicator.

Heat, dry joints, component aging, high temperatures, (very) high

voltages,
heat, adjustable resistors (potentiometers) 'wiper contact' becomes
unreliable. dust, btw - did I mention heat?

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?


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'


That 'moment' is still good. Is it possible that an 'outsider' could be
interfering?


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.

No way, Mart, will I do that!

Either get it fixed professionally or buy a new Flat Screen - you'll
probably find that the TFT is cheaper in the long run.


My option will be a new one and probably a flat screen at that, if it should
be re-ocurring again and again, as before.


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.
But somehow things seem to point in another direction in my view.
Isn't there a way to manipulate the color scheme?


No

Thanks for your patience,


again, Mart.

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.

Harry, please expand :-

In Properties/Settings under 'Colors' the color red is now

Do you mean that you ONLY see these 'sporadically change' whilst

using
the
Properties/Settings utility window?

I meant those changes took place previously for a couple of weeks,

with
the
color being normal and changing over to missing red sporadically, or
should
I say 'between each other'? Now the color red is missing permanently

from
my
color scheme. Doesn't that make it clear enough?
Lately I haven't touched anything but the on and off button of my
machinery'.


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??

Everything in that regard was 'hypothetical'.
I also checked the Device Manager and everything 'is working

properly'.
For the time being I will have to put up with this, until I find a

way
out.


Bed time!

If this is the wrong 'forum', please let me know and also where to

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.

Still unconvinced, Harry asked -

.... Is it possible that an 'outsider' could be
interfering?


Err.. No, Harry, ... No

Harry, read my lips :-

Although your Red and Green guns (and perhaps the whole of your monitor) may
not have completely failed just yet (see also Norman's input regarding life
cycles) their associated circuitry would appear to be causing you 'problems'
which YOU should not even attempt to repair. The fact that (from here, it
appears that) your monitor is on its back with its feet in the air, is a
pretty good indication that it is almost deceased (as in "Dead Parrot")

You *may* get a few more days, weeks, or even months (of intermittent)
working life. You *may* also think that throwing money at it, might also
help as well as pratting about, but you can be assured that its (economic)
demise is imminent.

By all means be optimistic, but do also be prepared for the worst case.
Start saving now - it will be 'money in the bank' towards your next
PC/Monitor. Wishful feelings - sadly - don't always repair computers.

Bite the bullet, Harry, sooner rather than later. You'll wonder why you left
it so long!

Thought I already made that clear, Mart, but as long as it works, let it
work.
At the next 'warning sign' I'll take appropriate action, according to the
given suggestions. Really appreciate your input, Mart, thanks a million.

Default The Color 'Red' is missing

All of what has been suggested to date is quite valid.......I would like to
add that I had a problem with my existing machine, similar to yours. My
screen would turn yellow. I determined it was not the monitor, very easily,
by simply turning the monitor on without the cpu and you should get some
sort of 'bouncing' message that the monitor has no signal, but, is working
properly (or something to that affect). If not, try just turning on the
monitor and opening your menu (usually a button in the front or side of the
monitor), if the colors are correct, then it is not your monitor! Mine was
either a loose video cable at the back of the cpu or the video card was
loose. When I 'wiggled' the connection the yellow went away and all was
normal and, to date, it has remained such. I still don't know whether it
was the cable connection or the seating of the video card.
Also, the video cable itself can cause similar problems. You would do well
to stick with Mart and Norman's suggestions.

Monitors tend to die, after time. 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.


I'm taking it under advisement, Norman, thank you. H.

You rang? g


Damn.....I just missed you. Went downstairs to either watch TV or get
creative. However, Ron was watching an X-rated Bruce Willis Die Hard
movie (Willis only seems to know one cuss word, grin) so I messed
around with my inventory, but couldn't seem to get inspired. Guess I
had better and then sell them to you for the girls, lol.

Elayne has her order(s) in, but I am missing one tiny item for each
necklace. Or a toggle or some such. Made a neat pearl trio (necklace,
earrings and bracelet) the other night. AFTER I had totally threaded
the 22" necklace, I then held it up for Ron to see and promptly let go
of one end of the wire.......ARGGHH!! You ever try to find tiny seed
pearls on a rug?? Somehow I can't picture you crawling around looking
for beads or pearls.....ROFL!! Got em all tho. (colour me cheap as
well as blonde)

Cheers, Mikey.....and get to bed. XX Figgs

And you've missed me again. I've just finished editing a large graphic in
Photopaint (80+MB) after I don't know how many hours and am now heading
for bed.

Still waiting for a link to your catalogue. :-)

Cheers,

Mike

Only have 5 on there now and have made more.

expert, not me.

Yes, Corel PhotoPaint rather than Adobe PhotoShop.

Looking forward to seeing some pics. I doubt however that I will be able
to afford your prices. :-)
