Awful screen color



My wife brought home an IBM ThinkPad R32 from work, which no one wanted.

After playing with it for a while I could never get it to work. Loaded Windows XP Pro on it and now it works fine, except for a screen color problem.

When the computer starts up the usually Windows XP Pro logo is seen, with a God awful red background color. Any one have an idea of how to change this red color back to the blue color you usually see as the background color when Windows starts up?

When the computer is operating there is a slight pixellation on some of the screens which are displayed. Believe if I can fix the screen color problem the poor quality of what is being displayed may improve.

Thanks

CEB

I suspect it's probably a hardware, rather than a software problem.

Take a look at IBM's website for the screen drivers.

Will give it a try. The site looks like it has a number of downloads for my R32 ThinkPad.

Thanks for the help.
