BleepingComputer.com: Black and White screen using Vista after System Restore

I am having issues with my screen turning black and white about 10 seconds after the desktop comes up on startup. I have done a few system restores which seemed to return it to normal colors for a few weeks at a time and then i would have to restore it again. The most recent system restore did not help it at all.

The machine is an HP Slimline running Vista

Graphics Card(?): NVIDIA GeForce 9500 GT

Monitor is a Samsung 226BW

I am not sure if it is my graphics card, vista, my monitor or something else i am over looking.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Derek

I had the exact same thing happen. It turned out to be the Digital Vibrance setting. Go to your NVidia Control Panel-Display..Adjust desktop color settings.
Somehow, that slider was at 0% instead of the default 50%.
Hope this helps.

Dang i fought this for months and never could find anything that would work. After countless searches on the net and questions to computer techs, a simple question here does the trick. Thanks for your time in reading and responding to my thread.

Any idea what causes it to go to 0%?

Thanks again,

Derek

Never did...it almost drove me crazy before i found out about it....Glad i could help.
