Display color problem

Awexome · 06-25-2007, 01:33 AM

(I've copied this from my post at the CNET forums)

Video Card: All In Wonder X800XL 512 MB
OS: Windows XP

1 gig of ram
Pentium 4 3.4 GHz

This problem started a little while ago and it's gotten worse. Whenever I'm playing a game like Deus Ex, Thief 3, CS Source, and others, there is no display problems. However, when I quit to the desktop or when I start up my computer, the colors are messed up. Everything that should be grey is blueish, and most other colors don't appear right either. Pictures and video are practically undecipherable, and it's just plain annoying. This problem persists when I try to start Might and Magic IV. I have the latest drivers for my video card and I'm in 32 bit color mode. I don't know what to do.

I need some help with this. I have no clue what the problem could be.

Are you running the video card at its highest performance? like is it on the most colours and things. Thats all i can think of.

Don't worry guys, I fixed the problem. I opened the ATI Catalyst control center and went to colors. Turned out all I had to do was hit "reactivate ATI color controls". Boom, no more problems.
