Apprear in black and white office on desktop icons

original title: Programs Office is not displayed correctly

I am running XP Pro.  My computer came into mode Hibernate and when I restarted (power off; fed up) all of my Office programs (Word, Excel, PPT, etc.) are displayed in black and white.  The only color is the background strip at the top of the screen.  Icons, etc. are black outlines.  Same Outlook Express is different (it will highlight messages in green, not blue).  I reinstalled my display driver.  I fiddled with the option 'view' on each program, but nothing works.  Most of my other programs is not concerned that my browser (Firefox) lack also a few in the toolbar background colors, etc..  Any ideas?

Thank you!!

Problem is solved!  On another forum, someone suggested this link:

I followed several of these steps, and the problem is solved!

  • HP Color Laserjet CM1312 / Windows 7 / Microsoft Office Word 2010-> black and white text only

    I bought a HP Color Laserjet CM1312 and plugged on my 32 bit Windows 7 PC. Of course, I downloaded the newes of HP drivers. Then, I wrote a text in Microsoft Office Word 2010. Parts of the text in red. When I printed this text, all the text was black and white. No color.

    Also, when I print PDF documents with colored text or grafics, it is printed in black and white.

    When I include an image in color in my word document, then the image is printed in color, but not the text.

    How can I solve this problem.

    Thanks for a quick reply.

  • Scrolling with the mouse on the pages to create black and white, lines

    When scrolling with the mouse, periodically the entire screen turns into black and white lines. Page sometimes together, sometimes just from ads pictures/side. If you continue to scroll disappear but you need to scroll to where the lines have begun, it's hard to explain, I took 1 picture of the problem but will have more photos that I can, I love how Firefox works on my computer, it has always been the best browser for my needs. I recently bought a new desktop computer, but he did so also, so I deleted and tried to launch the Explorer and Google and I don't like, so I hope that we can settle this problem.

    I don't know if it solved the problem, but he didn't precisely these days. Thank you

  • Sort of printing black and white only when magenta cartridge is empty?

    We have a HP Office Jet Pro 8500 a. computer running Windows Vista.

    The Magenta cartridge is currently empty, and we need to print an urgent document before we will be able to get a new cartridge.

    While trying to print a black and white document only, the following error has occurred:

    Exhausted ink cartridges

    HP 940 Magenta

    The cartridges listed above must be replaced to resume printing.

    HP recommends that you do not remove an ink cartridge until a replacement is ready to install.

    Specified in printing dialog windows that we want only black and white, but it is still received this error message.

    Is it possible to adjust the printer settings to specify explicitly that you want to use black ink?

    Thanks for any help you can give.

    This printer takes individual ink cartridges (IIC), and this ink delivery system requires that all cartridges to be installed for the printer to work. You can set the printer to "Using black ink only", but that must be done before a cartridge is exhausted, that the printer inks for other uses in fairest impression. It also uses the ink for the maintenance of the print heads. Here a link to a document that turns to explain various ways that ink is used in a printer beyond just printing.

  • Photosmart HP 6520: HP 6520 scanning in black and white

    Hello

    My HP 6520 scans in color black and white docs.  I read the various messages from others who have similar problems and have downloaded the latest drivers on the Apple site.   When I open the HP utility and navigate to "Scan to computer" and 'Modify tasks analysis' I find the menu only 2 items I can interact with are "Document (PDF)" and "Photo (JPEG).

    When I press the button Edit, I get a submenu that I can develop to show the type of device, the presets and exit.  When I select the "show details" button, I get only one bar for me to choose the quality in which items can be scanned.  I don't see the Mode option that should allow me to select Save in both black and white.

    Please can you help me with a few tracks here - thanks in advance.

    Hi Waterboy71

    I carried out the tasks that you recommended and there is a degree of progress, while getting only not in a fully satisfactory place.

    Certainly the HPScan shortcut on the desktop icon will allow the scans for color photos but the documents in PDF format are in black and white.

    However, if I take the longest walk around the system, select the printer in the printer options and select scanner in that, a submenu opens and I can propose to scan in color, if its for documents or pictures.

    Is not as simple as it used to be, as I didn't have to do that before - maybe it's a result of a system of 'upgrade' somewhere along the way.

  • Pavilion 22bw is black and white when you watch the video on web page

    I recently bought an HP 22bw monitor.

    I am connected to a desktop HP Pavillion with a DVI, HDMI video connection, no. My resolution is 1920 x 1080.

    My problem is whenever I want to watch a YouTube video on a web page or a web page has an inserted in video as upper right of Sportsillustrated web page the monitor goes black and white. The only way he'll be back, if I move the mouse, which he corrects only for a few seconds and then goes back to white/black.

  • 6520 photosmart all-in-one: can't get Photosmart 6520 to print in black and white only reliable

    I'm trying to get the 6520 Photosmart of HP all-in-one to print only in black and white. I followed the instructions in the manual (go to the preferences of the printer by selecting "Black ink" only 'Print in grayscale,' hit 'Apply' and 'Send'.)

    Now, if I do a table in the word processor Open Office and fill the cells with different colors, they print in black and white. Bonus. This is what I want. However ... When I print a page of Open Office spreadsheet (the ultimate goal), there are all the cells, printed in color of life.

    That is what it is? How can I fix?

    Afternoon @MSWS,.

    I can help you with the printing settings in Open Office.

    It seems that this program has its own options that can bypass the default print settings.

    I found this page of support which may help you with the settings. OpenOffice - control print

    A way to check the make and model of your video

  • Just my monitor black and white...

    Recently, I unplugged my computer to move to a new apartment.  When I reconnected everything, my only black and white monitors.  If I press on the screen menu, this menu appears in bright blue.  When I restart... the HP loading screen is also bright blue.  It seems that the monitor is fine, then I tried to smear it with my video card settings... not good.  I tried to update the driver, who worked almost.  As the new driver loading... screen went briefly to full color (although considerably enlarged).  But it is still black and white.

    This is the limit of my tech savvy... any ideas?

    Try another monitor... borrow someones if you have to...

    Try your monitor on another computer...

    This will tell us if its YOUR monitor or the graphics card.

    If it's a desktop computer (not a laptop)... open the side panel and make sure the graphics card has not come off.

    The system restore solved my problem and after that I had to do it AGAIN today, I went to Windows Update and changed the settings so that the updates would not automatically download and install on my computer.  It is certainly a problem with one of the Microsoft updates.  I just hope that they recognize that one and let us know as soon as POSSIBLE!  I'll be very selective on what updates, I am hosting in the future!

  • Help: VISTA is only in BLACK and WHITE for the admin user

    I went to another user in a game that worked well, but when I logged in this user and back in my usual admin user account, every day the screen is black and white while charging. Everything still functions very well except there is no color - all settings in the control panel and NVIDIA Control Panel suggests that it is the color display. If I connect to another account the color returns. Unfortunately system restore has been disabled for some reason any so that I can't restore to an earlier time. I downloaded and re-installed the latest driver for my graphics (NVIDIA 260 M GTX), but this does not solve the problem.

    Google search suggests some people have had this same problem, but still there are no solutions. Any help much appreciated.
