Why do the monitors on Windows XP suddenly change their colors?

Mine has suddenly changed his light greenish blue to dark green, and the icons on my desktop are reddish.  A few sites I visit are difficult to read.  I was trying to access some info at the time flash player.  Can anyone suggest how to fix this?  It's very frustrating.  Thank you.

The graphics 'card' he pilots and drivers can be updated, but I doubt that the problems you are having are associated drivers.

The "map" can be a map of component discrete snap or maybe it's just the chips that are integrated into the motherboard of the PC. Look at where you connect the VGA monitor cable. If there are plenty of other (different) connectors on the same plate then your motherboard has an integrated graphics card. If there is only one (or maybe two) connectors, so you have a discrete graphics card.

I repeat my previous opinion, if you can't get through test yourself, take the PC and follow for a repair installation, ideally one that you can get a recommendation for and put the matter in hand. Try to get the free diagnosis, it shouldn't take more than a few minutes. Then, get a quote before agreeing to pay anything.

  • Why does the login screen Windows continue reappear on my monitor?

    I use Windows 7 Pro.  Until a few months ago, I couldn't leave my desktop PC on overnight.  As soon as I sat down and moved the mouse or tap a key on the keyboard, my screen saver would disappear and I could go right to work.  It was great!  Several months ago, a problem started that I describe.

    Now, when I walk away from my PC for a few hours and return, I see the Windows login screen.   It is not all the time, but it produces most of the time.   My first step in tackling the problem was to check the settings of the screen Setter.  The bomber of the screen ("ribbons") is supposed to go after 12 minutes of inactivity.

    There is a box to the right of this setting that says 'On Resume, display the login screen'.  This box is averified.

    Then I adjusted to High Performance power settings.  PC display is Never set for when to turn off the screen and also never to when putting the computer to sleep.   I then changed the advanced power settings to try to remedy the problem.  I made sure the following settings are the following:

    High Performance requires no password on wake up.

    Turn off the hard drive at the end of 800 minutes

    The sleep settings:

    Sleep after = never

    Allow hybrid sleep = Off

    Hibernate after = never

    Enable timers wake = Disable

    Turn off the display = never

    Power button: Sleep button Action = Nothing

    For security reasons, I usually use my PC as a standard user.  But the login screen Windows guard reappear after I leave my PC for a while if I run as a limited user or administrator of the master.

    Can you give me some additional ideas on what I can do to remove the login screen Windows reappear after I leave my PC?

    Hello

    Thank you for your reply with the requested information, sorry for the delay in response.

    I suggest you follow the steps below:
    1. on your desktop "Windows + R" screen press button together press
    The Board of Directors.
    2. in the command box type run 'control userpasswords2' click OK.
    3. uncheck the box for "users must enter a user name and password
    This computer '.
    4. change the screen saver 'Ribbons' to something else for example
    'Bubbles '.
    5 restart the computer.
    Now, check if the problem reappears.
    Hope this helps, please answer with the results for assistance.

  • Rename several Photos in Windows Photo Gallery Changes their order... Why and how to avoid this phenomenon

    When I click on Edit: select all and file: rename to rename all the pictures in a file, Windows Photo Gallery changes the order of the photos in the file when it renames them. I need all the photos in their original order as many of them are sequential in nature, so how do I rename all the pictures in a file and make them come out in the original order after renaming?

    Thanks for any help...

    Once rename you them, it shows them in this order,

    Depending on how you have renamed them, you could look in the records of the event, or an association of tag system, because wlpg bed than the names that the order in which he plays or show thumbnails,

    The exception would be if you did a slide show you can rearrange the way they play by dragging them around.

    Also, I think you should consider tags group and no file file rename.

  • Why is the default on Windows 8 K page size?

    Hello

    I do some work setting on our databases because the Scriptures are a bit slow:
    about 100 puts / deletes per second. One thing I'm getting is setting the fill factor
    as recommended in the API docs and requires knowledge of the size of the page.

    I found that the system on linux and windows (x 86) page size is 4 K.
    However, the BDB chooses a page size default of 4K on linux and 8K on windows.
    I found this by collecting data using Db::stat_print() see Windows test code below.
    I have the same code that runs on both platforms.

    I was expecting that BDB would choose 4K on both platforms to match to the
    System page size. The docs and "The Berkeley DB Book" say or imply
    that this is the case.
    http://www.Oracle.com/technology/documentation/Berkeley-DB/DB/ref/am_conf/PageSize.html
    http://www.Oracle.com/technology/documentation/Berkeley-DB/DB/api_cxx/db_set_pagesize.html

    Can someone explain why the default page size is 8K on windows?
    Should I replace the default value and set it to 4K? I am reluctant to substitute the
    page size by default without knowing why a non intuitive value.

    I have read several forum posts on the page size, as well as the reference setting
    Guide section, API docs, etc.

    I use BDB 4.6.21 on Windows XP Professional (fully patched) and linux.
    I use a DB_HASH database.

    My files are fixed size: the key and the data set total 40 bytes.
    If the overflow pages should not be a problem, and there should be a lot of
    records per page.

    Hello

    We use a default 8K on Windows page size because it is not easy to recover from a specific block size.

    The comment in the code to set the block size is:

            /*
             * The filesystem I/O size is not easily available.  In particular,
             * the values returned by GetDiskFreeSpace() are not very helpful
             * (NTFS volumes often report 512B clusters, which are too small to
             * be a useful default).
             */
    

    If you know a way to reliably determine the block size of system files in Windows - we can integrate it into the code.

    We choose a default value of 8K on all platforms where we do not find a specific block size. This is because it is usually better - for performance reasons - to have a writing of data in chunks larger than the block size.

    If you read the reference guide on page size setting, you can probably do better than our "guess". You just configure the page size you want through the DB-> set_pagesize API.

    Is their a solution to this problem/bug in Windows 7?  To review other forums on the Net, it seems that the change occurs because any file from a website hosted server must not have any spaces because it cannot be accepted if used in a URL.
