So wheni got home i tried for about an hour looking through all the helps and things and couldnt figure it out. So if you dont understand what im tlaking about look at a screen shot here ... http://jayloewy.bravehost.com/untitled.JPG ive tried evwerythign i can think of. Please if you have any idea just tell me
 
I would say your monitor is going bad. Cost of repair most likely more than
cost of new. Hope it is under warrantee.
PS your screen shot look just fine on my computer.

Your screen shot looks just fine on my end...not a trace of yellow.

I'd suspect a bad monitor. Do you have another you can plug in to
test it?
 
Jay,
Screen shot looks perfect. It comes from the memory image of what's
displayed, so the problem is not software.

It may be your monitor has a fault or has just come out of correct
adjustment. First, I would check it's settings using the controls on the
monitor - especiall any labeled RGB, and also Color Temperature.

If that doesn't correct the problem, borrow another monitor and connect it
to your PC. If the problem persists, I would suspect the video card.

Yea i hooked up my sisters monitor and it worked fine so i was all ready to buy a new monitor tommorow and i just plugged mine in to use for the time being and now its wokring perfictally it doesnt make mutch sense. Well thanks for all of you that helped me out
 
Is it possible the video cable was just loose? Maybe a contact got
dirty/corroded and the action of disconnecting/connecting cleared it. Or
there's a broken wire in the cable and moving it put it back in contact.

Mine went greenish, turned out red convergence was off. You can get programs
of web to check.

But dead impressed with Philips, turns out my monitor had three year
warranty from them. They just brought a new one round a couple of days
later - shame my PC has now crashed though, but the error messages are nice
and sharp.
