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.

  • How can I get my photos from Windows Gallery to view and print in color, not just black and white?

    How can I get my Windows Gallery pictures to view and print in chiputa, not just black and white?

    Hi Petergrossman,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Vista answers Forum!

    I need few details about the question you posted.

    * What are the name and model of the printer?
    * You receive driver updates for your printer through Windows Update?
    * The printer prints the other applications in color?

    In the meantime, try the following steps.
     
    1. try to print the default pictures in Windows Photo Gallery and check if you get a printing color.
     
    2. try to uninstall the printer driver and reinstall it.

    Also check the setting of the color of the printer. Go to printer settings and make sure that you have selected the option to color.

    To print a picture, follow these steps: -.

    If you have a printer connected to your computer, you can make prints of digital photos. The quality of your photos depends on several factors, including the type of printer paper, ink and the settings of the printer of your choice. You can control many of these settings when you print the picture, but keep in mind that the overall quality and resolution of the digital picture you are printing will affect your final result.

    1. open Windows Photo Gallery by clicking on the Start button, all programs, and then clicking Windows Photo Gallery.

    2. click on the image you want to print.

    To select more than one picture, hold down the CTRL key while you click the pictures that you want to select.

    3. on the toolbar, click on print and then click on print.

    4. in the print pictures dialog box, select the printer, paper size, qualite quality print, style print and number of copies to print.

    5. When you have finished choosing how you want to print your photos, click Print to start printing.

    Choose printing options follow these steps: -.

    Before you send a print job to the printer, decide if you want to print all or part of the document or Web page. You may, for example, annotate the pages to print or select a part of a document before sending it to the printer.

    Here are common printing tasks to consider:

    1. to print that a hollering part of a document or a file, make a note of the page numbers for each page you want to print.
    2. If you want to print part of a page or a Web page only, select the content to print before printing.
    3. If you want to print a specific page, click anywhere on the page before choosing the print options for the document.
    4. the page that you clicked becomes the current page and you can print it by selecting this option in the print dialog box.

    After deciding what to print, choose how the print copies should look, and then select a printer.
    Use print preview

    To see what the print will look like before you print it, open the document in a program that offers a preview before printing. Print preview is generally located in the file menu of a program. You should be able to get an overview of each page of the document. In some programs, you can choose print in preview mode options and then print directly from the preview. In other programs, you will need to close the preview, change the document or your printer settings and print.

    If you preview or print a document, and it does not appear the way that you intended, you will need to change the document or change your print options. For example, if one part of your document fits on the printed page, you may need to reduce the font size, reduce the margins, or change the page layout and then try to print again.

  • Cannot print just black and white - cannot print all black when a low cartridge

    I had this 6700 Officejet just long enough the warranty has expired. Go figure. I have 2 problems.

    1. from my PC, it will print not just black and white, even if I chose "printing black and white only. I have to go through the whole syetem of dialogue ect ect, which is delayed. It prints perfectly just black and white of my portable Macbok.

    2. it won't let me print a document all in black and white, because I have a low color cartridge. Whey do I have to have color cartridges to print just a black and white document. Very annoying and frustrating. I'm almost ready to use as target.

    Hi fpsolutionsllc,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support! I understand your frustration and want to enlighten us and also bring some answers to your questions about the ink on your HP OfficeJet 6700 systems.

    1. you are able to go to your printer properties and change your settings for printing in black and white only, without having to change it whenever you want to print something. See the steps listed below:

    * Go to your devices and printers

    * Right-click on your 6700 and select Print Options

    * Select your desired default and press Ok

    2. you cannot print without all cartridges installed because even if printing black and white printer will still use the ink contained in the cartridges of color for maintenance tasks. It takes little ink from all cartridges in the service of the print head and avoid any clogging. To get a better understanding of take a look here: use of inkjet printers ink.

    I've found this useful information here: a 'ink alert' or "Low on ink" Message appears on the computer or the printer control panel

    Thank you

    Hi all

    I thought that you may be able to help! my graphics are crazy, there are random distortion of the screen under windows (boxes drooping and tear for example) and the pixel black and white flickering little almost constantly.

    Then on games like age of empires, the screen goes crazy flick images autour and in fps games well its completely crazy thousands of ears 3d flashing around the screen... I have a video, but I'm not sure that I can download it here...

    I tried drivers and the restoration of the system without success... have you ever heard about something like this and have any suggestions on how to fix this?

    concerning

    Bill

    > I tried drivers and system restore without success... Have I you heard something like this and have any suggestions on how to fix this?

    In my opinion, you need to connect the laptop to the external display just to check if its display problem internal or maybe the graphics card issue. I think its GPU problem, but an external monitor is worth a try.

    However, in both cases the defective part must be replaced. :(

  • Screen is colored for about 3-4 seconds when I run vista and then past black and white after UPDATE 2/10

    I had automatic updates and at 03:00 it will download new updates whenever they come. I guess that 2/10 have been installed the updates that came out and when it automatically restarted my computer, everything was normal on the login screen, but once Windows started, 3-4 seconds and it went black and white. It is not my monitor or my video card, I tried 3 OTHER monitors on this and I own two myself. I need to restore both before the update was installed for my screen to return to the color... Anyone else having the same problem or knows what is happening or how to fix? Would appreciate the help. Thank you!

    Hey, Kelso,.

    There are a few things to try, that might turn back to normal settings.

    In display settings, try to change the option of colors up to medium (16 bit) and see if that makes a difference. Change to when. You can also change the resolution settngs. Sometimes just by changing the settings can fix the little quirks.

    Have you tried to update video card driver? If this isn't the case, that give a try. You can use the automatic update via the Device Manager, or just go on display card manufacturer's website and download the latest version of the driver.

    Hope that helps!

At the start of vista, it's after start of switches in black and white and color. I can't see where it get back to normal.

    Hi shamorau,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site!

    (1) do you have because of recent changes, after which the problem occurred?

    The first thing I would say is to update or rather uninstall and reinstall display drivers and who might have to deal with the issue.

    Also I suggest you try to use another monitor to see if it is not a problem with the monitor.

    Let us know if the problem persists after the driver updates.

  • Studio XPS 9100, Ati HD5670, flickering of small format black and white square

    I have Dell XPS 9100 Intel Core i7 CPU 8 GB 64 - bit Windows 7 OS.  ATI Radeon HD5670.  I found a new driver dated December 2014 and loaded.  The small blocks flick went then small black line sometimes appears on both monitors, but it's not the worst of it. This new drive made me all kind of pain.  When the launch IE I get message that IE has failed.  When I open file Explorer it fails also.  I got the drive to a 2010 version and the black line of thinking in the middle of the screen has disappeared but flickering blocks returned.  I did a restore to return six days ago, but IE and Explorer of files are still not.  I really screw that constituent.

    I was wondering if my Radeon video card failed and if you think that it is perhaps the issue which video card would you propose?   At least a new video card would have current reference to the Web site with the current drivers or driver.  I don't do games but want to run three monitors (two running).  This machine is about four years with two internal 1 TB DASD, one Internal 500 GB and a 1 TB external drive.

    HELP me please I'm in trouble AND I THANK YOU for your help.


    I forgot to mention that I ran a Scan of the file as an administrator of the DOS command prompt, I am under MS Virus and Malware full Scan.  There is no longer a couple, I can take as the safe boot mode see if problem persists.  And then perform a clean boot and finally a scan of RAM memory.  I already did a restore of the system 8 days ago.  Guess I can make one "in Place Upgrade' as the last step at least think a person would be better off buying the new video card since this problem of flicker developed a few months previously and not related to my efforts to update HD5670 ATI Radeon driver to the latest version.  It seems almost obvious to me is a graphics card problem, because a change in the Version of the driver to change the shape of video problem scrapie blocks of black and white in the corner of the scree in a detroit thin black line in the middle of the screen.  However technology can be difficult, but does not seem plausible as a problem of video card with the new driver changing the display screen problem but by introducing the serious problem of failing IE and Windows Explorer.  The full scan just finished with a browser quarantined modifier.

  • Computer load upward with display in black and white

    When loading my computer upward, all right up until just before I finish the load in place, when the screen turns into grayscale (black and white).  Restarting the computer is not solve it.

    The first Question of troubleshooting: If the problem is new, what has changed between the time things worked and the time they do not have?

    Laptop or desktop?

    If a desktop computer, connect the computer to a different, known monitor that work. If all goes well, throw the original monitor. If the problem persists, replace the video card for a well-known work. If it is a laptop, you cannot correct yourself. Communicate with technical support of the computer laptop mftr...

    Open Customize / screen saver.

    Select the screen saver Windows Live Photo Gallery .

    Click on the settings button.

    In the drop-down menu use this theme , one of the options is black and white.

    If the random option is there, it will automatically to different themes, and sometimes switch to the black and white theme.
