Screen Freecell on vista turns black and white

My freecell turns black and white screen and strange behavior. I use ms vista. It also shows only the #8181 game. It never happens on my XP machine. Thanks for the reply in advance.

Hi Karen,.

a. Since when are you facing this problem?

b. did you change to your system recently?

c. This only happens with free cell?

Method 1: I suggest you to uninstall and reinstall the game and check.

1. close all programs.

2. click on the Start button and then click Control Panel.

3. under programs, click on uninstall a program.

4. in the pane tasks, click on turn Windows features on or off.

5. in the windows features list, click the plus sign next to games.

6. under games clear the checkbox for freecell.

7. you receive a warning message in a pop-up window. Click Yes.

8. now restart the computer and then go to Windows features turn on or off features. Place a cell check free of charge. You receive a warning message in a pop-up window. Click Yes.

9. restart your computer.

Method 2: If the method above is not enough, you can try to create the new user profile and see if the problem still occurs there.

To create a new profile, you must first create a new user account. When the account is created, a profile will also be created.

1. open user accounts by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, click user accounts and family safety (or by clicking on user accounts, if you are connected to a network domain), and then clicking user accounts.

2. click on manage another account.  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

3. click on create a new account.

4. type the name you want to assign to the user account, click an account type, and then click on create an account.

If the new user profile resolves the problem, you can screw the corrupted profile and re - install the applications and programs.

  • Vista for admin is displayed in black and white, safe mode he color__How can I solve this?

    It's for my computer vista laptop professional 32-bit, I run, I have a NVIDIA Geforce 9600 M GT video card, which displays its colors very well in safe mode which I am right now.

    I tried to update the driver, and it shows that I have the latest updated driver for my card, which I doubt has problems because safe mode clearly shows the colors. I tried in the admin change all aspects of the display to check if, somehow, it shows color without result.

    I have not change anything until the problem happens, the last action I did before putting it in black and white, was admin log, and put the computer in mode "Eve". I tried to access low and high graphic games after the problem, and the low graphic games can be played in black and white, while the high graphic games are not. They display an error on x-ray engine which I assume is due to the lack of color on the screen.

    I also tried a system restore, but it failed because all the 3 times, he showed that nothing has changed for the restoration of the system has failed.

    I hope this is enough information to troubleshoot. (I restarted and tried to update and even downloaded program Mr. Fix It Microsoft and unsuccessfully yet.)

    PLS, help

    It wasn't her, but I managed to solve the problem but another way. Believe it or not, under the digital vibrance I just had it higher than before, but the strange thing is that I never played with this setting under my nvidia Control Panel. Another is that whenever I have a graphic problem with my theme (which is three times since I increased the digital vibrance), it turns black and white display before they change.

    I think that maybe it won't be a temporary solution, because I can not find the reason for the error of digital vibrance begin wth or as to why the screen goes black and white when my theme does not appear himself.

    But thanks to try it regardless, but this isn't the high contrast setting. Become text and th white black screen, rather mycomputer transformed into black and white way somewhat.

  • 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!

  • 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!

  • Several games limit left 2/3 of the screen and only game in black and white

    Original title - problem with games

    Five of the eight games on my machine here confined to the left 2/3 of the screen and play only in black and white. It's Chess Titan,

    Free Cell, hearts and Spider Solitaire, solitaire. Ink ball, Mahjong-Titals and Minesweeper work very well. I had the same problem with Netflix, but

    acting on the advice of the Csr Support, I have ununstalled and re-installed Silverlight (and had to use the Fix It program to do it). That solved the problem of Netflix

    but not the problem of games. YouTube has never been touched by this issue)

    Note: these problems two weeks ago.

    Microsoft says my video driver customer service must be updated and that I had to go so the manufacturer (Dell). I can't

    implement this driver in programs and features at all.  I don't know what made everything a video driver. It only concerns the functioning of

    (some) games?

    Any suggestions or info appreciated

    Ed Mac

    Thanks for your reply. I tried to uninstall the games, but the Turn Off function did not cooperate.

    I had the problem, however. An outfit with whom I unfortunately chose to do it remotely

    maintenance, but who are if anything more incompetent than the people of Dell installed on my machine one

    program called "Assistant pilot."  Now, it turns out I had two issues which has the same effect on Netflix and 5 of 8 games, i.e. the image limited to 2/3 of the screen and exploitation of black and white only. The Netflix problem solved when Microsoft Csr Serv me sent suggestions on what to do, which was to uninstall and reinstall Microsoft Silverlight and use the Fix It program if there were problems. Now the outfit I mentioned tried time and time again to uninstall Silverlight without success. It appears that they knew no more difficulty I did. Silverlight was the problem here, because they felt properly.

    The problem of games persisted. Microsoft Csr Serv now told me she looked like my update video driver required and suggested I have call the manufacturer, Dell. God forbid!    I know little about computers. they know less. Then I shortened myself of this pilot, a wizard who bethought

    appears on my menu. I ran the program and it came with 20 + drivers requiring an update. One was a NVIDIA driver and I was vaguely aware that they probably had something to do with it.

    Update Ran, problem solved! Note that people who have installed this program to me do not have

    Consider using it to try to solve what was obviously a video problem! Yikes!

    Microsoft stands out as the good guys here. I had spent hours on the phone with Netflix (very useful, but it wasn't their problem) and this other suit. Microsoft pointed me in the right direction without fees.

    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.
