Hey,

A while back I was using my machine and all was fine. But a few minutes ago I booted up and saw that my screen colors were wacko. Oddly, everything shows up in what looks like 16bit color.

Yet, Display > Settings still shows 32bit x 800 x 600 - which is the usual setting.

The numbers look right, but all else is wrong. Any ideas?? Sad

PS: OS is Win2k + SP3.

Win2K SP3 is still in beta, no? Was your problem there before you installed SP3? If not, you know the problem. And if so, you might want to check for updated video card drivers.

No probs before or even after installing SP3... This just happened out of the blue. Sad

I would definitely check for updated video card drivers and make sure you have all the patches from Windows Update.
