O.P. Color problems
Hey everyone

This might sound stupid but for no apparent reasons, the colors of my desktop got darker, making everything harder to see or read. Everything seems to have gone up a shade or two shades darker, and I tried to increase the contrast but its already at the maximum. whenever i view images, it's very hard for me to see the details. i dnt know whats wrong, i dnt know if its an emulator's fault, but it used to be fine before. now the graphics have gone dark too and i cnt play anymore. i right-clicked on the desktop to properties to fix it up but in vain, i still have that problem.
does anyone know what might be wrong?

RE: Color problems
Have you checked to see if your monitor's chord is plugged in tightly. Also: Is it possible that your video card became partially dissloged?

RE: Color problems
It may show that its up all the way, but if you close the "contrast selecter" and then reopen it again by pressing the decrease button it'll show that it's at 0% therefore you can increase it up more. If the contrast doesn't help, maybe you have something that blade has replied with.

this may only work with a computer screen with the + and - buttons on the frame of the screen...For other computer screens it may work, but i dont know.

One time my video card came partially out of its PCI slot, shut down the PC, open the case and check that it's tightly in place.
