Color of laptop problem

I have an Advent 8109 laptop

However, when I use the following Applications

Media Center

Media Player

Internet Explorer

Mozilla Firefox

Windows Live Messenger

Color can not be seen properly, on the press center, he has a white instead of blue, in media player 11, that all the buttons have white around them in Internet Explorer and Firefox that some pictures is not visible (for example. Google logo) and Messenger only has a white background. but the rest of the applications seem to be working with colors, it is that the programs that have color problems.

Hi jaguarboy666,

1. When did you start to question?

2. you remember to make changes to the computer before this problem?

You can create a new user account and check if you can change the screen saver.

  • Control problem of screen colors on laptop Satellite Pro

    Hi all

    No one knows how to stop the Intel graphics driver to try to improve my colours on the screen?

    I have a Spyder3 Pro and it seems to have graphics drivers interfere with it.

    all I want is for Spyder3 choose my windows color profile, NOT Intel.

    SPEC:
    Windows 7 32 bit
    Video BIOS Intel Graphics Media Accelerator HD 2026.26
    i5 Intel Core with 4gig of RAM.

    Thank you in advance. :-)

    Hello

    I've never heard of Spyder3 Pro, but in my opinion this has nothing to do with Toshiba. In your case I contact the manufacture of the Spyder3 Pro software and ask how to choose the right color profile of Windows for this program.

  • Satellite Pro P100-327 screen color depth/quality problem

    Hi guys, my first post! Had my Tosh for 3 years now. I now have a problem with the display. It seems that the color depth is really down or something... as I stumble on the 8-bit color depth. Everything seems strongly Posterization in the graphical sense.

    I uninstalled the video drivers and reinstalled a new, former, a version of toshiba, a version of the nvidia driver and all have no effect on the problem. No joy!

    I went through and checked all the settings of resolution and color depth, and trawled through the many pages of settings nvidia and played with all the reasonable parameters to find the problem. No change. All reset to how I found it.

    I've been reading through the forums and not really found something specific. If I missed it, then I would a link here slapped on my face to show how incompetent I am! ;)

    I will however try to disconnect the battery and the power for an hour and turn it on again later as this seems to be the standard solution or must try for everything. What do this exactly? Reset of the BIOS/CMOS etc?

    Thanks in advance!

    You have the same problem if you connect the external monitor to your laptop?
    Have you tried to test already?

  • Nook Color ereader & connectivity problems with router WRT610N

    I recently bought a new Nook color ereader for my wife. As long as a network administrator, I thought that this would be an easy task to configure the ereader to connect with my Linksys WRT610N router on the 2.4 Ghz band. But I'm running problems when connecting. The question seems to have intermittent connection problems where the meals seem to see the wireless network, authenicates, tries to get an IP address, then connects for a short period or removes the signal very quickly while being right on top of the router with the device.

    By the recommendations of various forums of Nook, I had the best luck with the following...

    2.4 Ghz band settings

    SSID: NookNetwork

    Channel width: 20 GHZ

    Standard channel: 9

    SSID Broadcast: enabled

    Security mode: WPA2 Personal

    Encryption: AES

    Passphrase: set out

    Key renewal: 3600

    UPNP: disabled

    RTS: default

    Defragmentation: default

    Tag: default

    However, the problem still resides in an intermittent connection to the wireless network. I also tried various arrangements of the channel to both channels 1, 6 and 11 with my best cponnecting chance to channel 9. I also played with the security and disabled all together and have plugged but always file (will not however run the unsecured network). Also try a tag value of 75, a framework of fragmentation of 2306 and 2307 RTS setting. My computer laptop while run and connect properly.

    I use the latest software updated both on the color of the corner. I am at the end and have searched high and low to get suggestions, and have not yet reached a compatible connection. Please help... Thank you! And my wife thank you in advance! Smiles!

  • Two HP Pavilion Series computer G7 laptop problem!

    Hi all! It is my first time to post a thread, so correct me if I'm wrong. I am also a child of 15 years and I know how to take care of your laptop. I love HP so just to tell you all!

    So I had three laptops computers HP in the past, but the 1st is broken so I want to talk about the laptop of 2nd and 3rd.

    My 2nd laptop which is a HP Pavilion 1219wm g7, I had for over 2 and a half years and it was a good laptop until my father using a laptop, and when he was going to put in place, he accidentally dropped the laptop, then the other day I was looking to see if something was wrong, nothing was wrong that day until a week or two , the left hinge and the right hinge broke nails, so when I tried to open my laptop, it would make a lot of noise and push the hinges on, and also when the hinges were out, I figured that my laptop fan not working anymore, while I was searching for YouTube videos on how to disassemble a laptop as mine and so I don't , and when I got most everything out, I saw that the hinges were broken and nails went down, so I ask my dad to get out of the nails, but he said no because he had some color gold metal around the nail, I thought the hinges were pushing the laptop fan and watched the fan and I saw a few pieces of fan which are plastic fell off the coast and I erased the dust Too much. Open so now I reassembled the laptop and it still works and the fan of the laptop works also but instead, it made a lot of noise and vibrates the phone, but when I push the area where the fan is, it makes no noise, but when I let go, it emits noises, the laptop hinges I always leave my cell phone because I'm afraid to open again and he'll break a lot more thinking inside the laptop and when I'm not using it, I let the "Sleep" mode So basically the parts fan parts are broken and made a loud noise and vibrating a lot when not pushed and the left and right hinges of the screen LCD is broken. Any way to replace these parts?

    Now for my third laptop, this laptop has really no problem, but one thing I ask is I have ordered this laptop online on Amazon, which is this link here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009AU2JN2/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 . Anyway, I bought this laptop on May 17, 2014 and received may 27, 2014. It is called HP Pavilion g7-2240us. After the configuration of the laptop, I open HP Support Assistant, and then I get this message that says something like ' warranty HP is exceeded. I bought a new laptop and Standard warranty Start Date was on January 25, 2013, and Standard warranty end Date was February 28, 2014. So I thought that it was a problem because once you buy a laptop PC or laptop or something else, the guarantee starts automatically on that date. So all the ideas that is the problem?

    I know it was good, but I wanted to give you all the information I had and tell me if I need to say more!

    Thanks for the help!

  • Slow performance HP Pavilion laptop problems

    Very recently, I bought a laptop HP Pavilion. It has Windows 8 and arrived in the mail, no more than a week ago. The first thing I did after that the mandatory installation process was to restore the files from my old laptop (which broke) via ClickFree (currently I have 625 677 GB free) and once that was completed, I installed several programs (office, Vipre, Photoshop, etc.). Apart from that, I did very little about the real hard disk of the computer, since I save everything externally on my ClickFree.

    My problems started occurring rather suddenly, Wednesday morning. In Firefox, I opened a tab for go on Facebook, and scroll the RSS seemed pretty gloomy. I closed the tab, but the slow pace continued in the other tabs, I had opened and then spread to the programs not involving is not the Internet. These problems have worsened gradually.

    On the Internet, the performance is particularly slow. I gave up video players like Netflix, because they freeze the browser to the point of crashing. Page loading is very delayed, even typing this message experiences freeze, despite the fact that I have nothing else running in the browser. There is warning of frequent messages in scripts and plugins does not (although, ironically, these messages are often unresponsive until I finish the script or the offending plugin). It is difficult to do anything on the Internet, such as the loading of pages and tabs of switching may take several minutes. Just clicking can cause the browser to freeze for minutes at a time.

    Off the Internet, programs load extremely slowly, often freezing. Opening files sometimes, with an increase in frequency, translates into a green loading bar at the top of the screen. Sometimes this bar gets stuck and cannot finish, and I can't access the contents of the file; This happened when I tried to open the Panel, to get more specific information about the computer to include in this message. Sometimes programs, such as video players, open without actually playing the video file, or they open at all. Often these programs freeze and sometimes hang; the desktop and the Explorer bar at the bottom of the screen (with the start menu, etc.) are not likely to freeze or disappear, for varying degrees of time. When I came to the computer, CPU utilization averaged about 4-6%, but now he's averaging 40 to 60%.

    Start the computer became too long and hard. The last time that I restarted, I entered my password only to get a completely black screen for at least half an hour; My office and the icons have appeared when I pressed Ctrl-alt-delete. After that, I stopped to turn off the computer (it was not a long time ago). This morning, I opened the laptop to connect, but received only a "Please wait" while the computer has tried to load the login page. It took 10-15 minutes, and then I was finally able to enter my password.

    These issues are getting worse, and I'm sure I'm forgetting several, but I think that what I've included enough to illustrate my problem. This is a new laptop, but it works almost as bad as my old laptop, which became unusable recently and had to be replaced with this one. I can't imagine what is the cause, but I really wish she was fixed. I installed a program called Fix - It Utilities (the installation disk supplied with the notebook) to try to improve the performance of the laptop, but to no avail. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello ValentineKills. I understand that the computer is slow. I will do my best to help you!

    This can be caused by a hardware failure or a software/driver/virus conflict. However, we won't know until the diagnosis is made.

    I'll provide a few official documents that provide information on how to speed up the computer. I want that you follow all the steps in all documents. In this way, if the problem exists, it will restrict the root cause. Here are the documents that I want you to try:

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/2746761

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c03460887

    Since you're under Windows 8, I have a further suggestion: complete all updates to Windows, and then upgrade the computer to Windows 8.1. While the operating system is upgraded, try to use the computer and see if the speed is any different.

    Please reply when you have finished troubleshooting. I'm only here to help!

  • Driver for HP 2170p laptop problems

    Hello

    First post on this forum

    I'm decided to sell the 2170p my gf and proceeded to do a clean install of Windows 7 Pro 64 bit last night and then used other software to attempt to clean the SSD drive.

    Unfortunately, once this process is finished, I noticed that there are a lot of drivers who are no longer present. (Serial Bus Controller, controller of network among others).  I have downloaded the pack of HP driver that would not install correctly and when in Device Manager, the drivers section would not allow me to update or provide details that the drivers are really needed. (They all had an exclamation point). I also noticed that all the HP software standard that appears usually with the laptop disappeared.

    Is there a documented process to get back it, so it is in a similar State to the way it was originally purchased?

    Thanks in advance.

    Update: I found a way to solve all my problems

    By pressing the escape of the splash screen to enter the start menu, and then using F11 to recover HP. Once that windows has been installed again, it's back to the factory settings.

    Many thanks to those who offered help

  • Inkjet e: 5740 5740 printer does not print color cyan & alignment problem

    Hello

    Recently, I replaced my lights on my P 5740 printer ink cartridge while trying once photograpgh print [6 x 4] & have had nothing more than headaches since.

    The cyan color does not print ink levels indicate that it is used. I cleaned the heads of ink at level 3. I have replaced the ink cartridge & still have the same problem and now the alignment is unsuccessful.

    I'm challenged to begin with technology & this challenge is both frustrating and disappointing that I do not understand what I did right.

    Any suggestions before I have packing the printer & return to Staples?

    Thank you

    HI @RC23,

    Because the printer is only a couple of months I suggest to HP customer care and ask about a replacement printer. Most likely, it is a matter of ink system, since you've already tried another cartridge with the same results. Check the model number and the form to receive a file number for faster assistance.

    Thank you!

  • Colored on laptop screen vertical lines

    Satellite M60 BK300E. For a complete specification, see http://www.toshiba.ca/web/product.grp?lg=en§ion=1&group=223&product=4670 & part = 3411 #spectop
    It is relatively older model, about 3.5 to 4 years.

    Recently, I spotted the appearance of colored screen vertical lines, each has 1 pixel thick. The lines altogether 6 now. They are distributed in thickness and the positions they take on the screen remains unchanged at the start of the system.

    I wonder if this may be incurred by the failure of the video card or the TFT matrix?

    Test it with external monitor. If the situation is the same as the graphics card is defective.
    Otherwise, if the image is normal, it must be defective LCD screen on the laptop.

  • Change my color of laptops

    I picked up a Dv7 at a cheap enough price for most due to its color (Pink/Silver). Although I like really the laptop I'm not too fond of the color so I thought that would be the best way to change its color.

    I have the manual and read how to get down the aluminum parts, does not seem difficult just a little of your time. In any case instead of paying money for the silver aluminum parts I thought just sanding them and paint.

    Before I gave it a shot but I was wondering if there is anything important I should take note of when disassemble the laptop and has anyone done this before? I think a beautiful black satin aluminum would look nice.

    Hi Ludovic,.

    Congratulations on your new laptop.

    One thing to consider is that, once you break this case, the warranty is gone.  HP will have no sympathy about the color, I'm afraid.  You could ask them; the guarantee could hold if you paint on the outside without opening the case.  I doubt that it is important to RESUME what you do outside the inside is considered to be sacred in the one year warranty period.

    It's pink.  If you do not open the case to paint over it and you can cover all the nooks and crannies to protect it from paint that painting would not - so you could take to a hobby store and ask them advice on how better painted without destroying the internal warranty on it and make it look great.

    Don't forget to add your favorite icon or a personal marker since you make this laptop 'yours '.
