Red is Black

Postby HeyChief » Wed Jul 07, 2004 11:47 pm

Hi all,

I got a problem,  :( while installing McAfee Internet security stuff, my screen got messed up. Everything that's supposed to be red, shows up as black. Makes for weird looking things. :'(

I don't know if the McAfee software did it or something else happened. I haven't had a chance to check the monitor or much more in-depth trouble shooting, yet. Been workin too much.

In the meantime, I have uninstalled ALL of the McAfee files & folders I could find.


Sys Specs:
Intel P4 3.2 gig cpu
2-512 Mb sticks of 400MHz memory
Intel Mobo .... the one with the integrated video & sound
Win XP home

That's all I can think of.

Tomorrow I'll try re-installing the Intel grafix drivers, and hooking up the monitor to my old computer.

Any other ideas and possibilities in my thoubleshooting will be welcome.

Thanks in advance
