Hi! I'm running an ATI Radeon X600 Pro video card. It's over a year old, but I haven't used the computer very much---I use another one primarily. All of a sudden, when I boot the computer, the splash screen has a reddish purple tint, and windows retains this color after it boots. I have been using this conputer lately in addition to the primary one, but I've been using the same monitor for both computers---switching the connection to the computer I'm using at that particular time. I'm not hot-switching---I connect the monitor when the computer is turned off. I can connect the computer with the color problem to another monitor, and there is no issue---it works fine. The first monitor has no problems connected to other computers. The X600 computer has no problems connected to another monitor. The monitor that suddenly has a problem is a dell d1226h 19", at 60 hz. Any ideas as to what is occurring? I haven't added any programs or any other hardware, Any and all responses will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Check the monitor connection? Could just be the monitor going out... Maybe you have something set wrong with the display properties such as refresh rate?

Also you might want to check the pins on the moniter. PLEASE make sure you have all the pins counted and correct. If its an LCD screen Make sure the same on the opposite side.
hope this helps
