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.

    This works perfectly well. The printer is connected to my PC via USB.

    Cartridges (color and black and white) are practically new and original HP cartridges.

  • only of black and white prints

    My sisters new want 5660 printer prints only in black and white.

    I have been all over the net and my iMac to try to understand what is the problem, but nothing helped.

    I looked for the paper type / quality etc settings that were solutions to other problems, but these options are not on my computer.  I passed through all the menus on the printer and many of my programs in an attempt to change a few settings that is saying is not in color, this printer.  I opened the printer settings and the settings of my computer and nothing gave me the possibility to print in color or black and white.

    what the devil?

    the closest solution to you, that I could find was that someone uninstalled and reinstalled the printer and it helped for a while, until she had to repeat the same thing.  that cannot be a workable solution, and my first guess would be that there is a problem with the printer.

    However, if there is something that I am on, can you please let me know?  I'm annoyed at the moment and it's not yet my printer...

    Hello @jammypie,

    The reason why the HP ENVY 5660 e-all-in-one printer is not printing correctly from your Mac OS X 10.6.8 computer is because the printer is not compatible with Mac OS X 10.6.8.

    Because this printer is new, it is only compatible with Mac OS X 10.7, Mac OS X 10.8, Mac OS X 10.9 and 10.10 to Mac OS X. Therefore, there is no driver support on your Mac OS X 10.6.8 computer. I'm surprised that you were able to get the printer to print to your Mac in the first place. But this does not explain why your print quality is so bad. You can try the alternate drivers that appear under the screen (+) add under Print & Fax but I can't guide you to a driver who would be appropriate for your printer, because it is not supported on this operating system. It is an inkjet printer if you can try a few other ink jet pilots who appear in the list.

    The solution to this problem would be to install the desire on a supported operating system and all printing problems will be resolved.

    I wish you good luck going forward with this!

  • Director of Windows capture only in black and white no color

    while trying to capture video from the color, it captures only in black and white

    Does not appear to be a 500 GB hard drive, but it can be
    a partition that uses a part of the training. In any case...
    you have enough free space and that's what I was afraid
    everything.

    I think it may be interesting to try to update your video driver.
    There is a recent version (18/01/2011) for your Nvidia Geforce
    6800 video card.

    GeForce/ION Driver Release 266.58
    http://www.nvidia.com/object/WinXP-266.58-WHQL-driver.html
    (do not forget to consult the list of "supported products" to check that)
    your video took card supported)

    A way to check the make and model of your video
    adapter is to launch the Device Manager by clicking on...

    Start/run and type or copy / paste:

    devmgmt.msc

    And then press ENTER.

    Expand "Graphics cards" by left clicking the +.

    Right-click on the name of your card and choose...
    Properties / driver tab... This will display the name,.
    Version number and the date of the driver.

    Download the updated driver for your computer desktop and the left
    Click to install. There is some info to install it at the following
    link:

    NVIDIA driver help
    http://www.nvidia.com/object/drivers_faq.html#installing

    Personally, I think it's a good idea to disconnect from the
    NET and close all programs, especially of before virus scanners
    installation of the driver.

    If you decide to try it... maybe... I mean just maybe you
    will be able to capture your video in color.

    Good luck...

  • Photosmart 8450 prints only black and white with the new Mac with OS 10.6

    I just bought a new Mac with OS 10.6.  (former was OS 10.5)  Now my Photosmart 8450 will print only in black and white.  I installed the single upgrade on the site of HP, no change.

    Is there an other update I need?

    You want to disable automatic session opening, which may be why it behaves in this way.

    Go to System Preferences

    Go to security

    Under "for all accounts on this computer", place a check mark next to 'turn off automatic connection.

    In addition, I do not know if you set a password for the test account, but put something simple as 123 - just something / anything.

    Once that is done, choose log in the Apple menu, or reboot. This should bring you to the login screen where you can specify the account to enter.

  • My HP photosmart 6510e all-in-one scanning pictures in black and white but the docs are still in color.

    Scan pictures into my a6683w HP Vista in black and white, but the documents still scan in color.

    Hello there ingridt, welcome to the Forums!

    I noticed your post on the scans of your Photosmart 6510, scan to your system from Vista in black and white. I want to offer my suggestions to you to see if they can help you with this.

    First of all, try to launch the HP print and Scan Doctor who is used to fix the printing and scanning problems. You choose the option "Scanning" when the tool is run. It will inform you if the software is completely installed, or if there is a problem, it can not correct. If it detects an error and shows you a red 'X', I suggest then uninstall and reinstall.

    Here are some links to help with uninstalling and reinstalling if you happen to do these steps.

    1. uninstalling the printer software

    2. restart your PC

    3 reinstall: Photosmart HP 6510 e-All-in-One Printer - B211a

    Try a scan now and let me know how make you out!

    Good luck!
