My computer's colors are wrong. Red looks black, pink looks blue, and green looks yellowish. I had this problem since a long time ago and I decided to post on this forum to see if anyone could help me? please?

Does your monitor have settings buttons on it?


Also you can check: start > Control Panel > Display > Settings


If nothing helps there I would uninstall and then reinstall your graphics drivers.

If you need help with this let us know what is listed in the Device Manager under Display Adapters

Start/Run/ devmgmt.msc

Under display adapters I have VIA/S3G UniChrome IGP

This is VIA's driver site but I cannot find VIA/S3G unichrome IGP specifically.

Perhaps if we can ID your motherboard. Run and post back this scan:

Is this an HP computer?

If so they put out an update to your driver just a few weeks after your current driver:

http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/s...tem=pv-24969-2

Also if an HP what is the exact make and model? We could search further for more recent HP drivers.


Otherwise I also found a driver released last year that matches your chip set from VIA:

http://www.viaarena.com/default.aspx...0&SubCatID=112

The computer is a compaq but I still tried the update and it did not work. I also tried the other driver but it said that setup could not be completed and that I had to check my progress log.

could anyone help me? please?

What is the exact model of the Compaq?

Reloading the motherboard drivers might help. They should be listed at the Compaq site:

My next step would be to upgrade to an AGP graphics card.
