On my sons computer (was win 98 SE) he started having a red shaded screen. He's 3 so he cant tell me what he did. I messed around with some of the display settings but nothing changed with it. I updated to XP (his doesnt have internet access either) no help. I tried to reformat the hard drive but it freezes during the set up. What I do to reformat is, install XP disk, restart and boot from disk and then it freezes 30-45 seconds later in setup. What the red screen is is like a tinting over the screen and when certain windows dialogue boxes open those are normal until i drag the cursor over them and it shades it red when I drag the cursor over an area. Most all of the screen starts out all red though. I checked cursor settings, display settings but not sure what to look for. I didnt think that any setting could do this to a screen. I can see everything through the tinting but... it is quite visually annoying. To get an idea, just think of placing red celophane plastic over your montior screen. Thats what it looks like all the time. It doesnt do it during the XP loading screen so I know its not my monitor. No special graphics card have been installed. Any help would be greatly appreciated. email address is without ( ) info. just for spam purposes.
