i've gone color blind. help.
July 13, 2006 11:39 PM

well hey there. so, here i am, sitting in front of my monitor - with my lovely PC back in action...

PROBLEM.

i'm color blind now. no, no, i don't mean my actual eyes - i mean my effing machine is not allowing me to see "millions of colors" --- it used to - and my monitor is a fancypants one that supports crazy colors.

yet, when i go into my settings > display > color crap ---- all's effed.

another thing - i cannot for the life of me get the fonts and the screen size back to the way it was (believe me, i've tried. i feel like frigging Goldilocks who's not happy with how things are right now.)

so - for the first tiem ever, i busted out my phone and dialed SHUMPY to see if he could save my life (see, as a web designer, using 3 effing colors is NOT what you might call "good")

so he's trying to help.

i also shot an email to the guy that fixed my machine (and charged me $463.75 to bring it back to life last week)

the most colors i can select is "Medium" ------ medium.

i am trying to design this other comedian's site and i thought that the image looked fine and dandy last night then i checked it out on my other monitors and it looks like i created it with vomit.

but i digress.

i know shumpy is trying to help - BUT if anyone else out there has an idea as to what the eff i can do to get millions of colors BACK onto my machine (windows xp) please let me know.

in the meantime, i am trying to redesign the guy's site on my mac. ah eff it, maybe i will just do all my graphics on the mac and then code the shite out of things on the PC.

HELP!

UPDATE : UPDATE : UPDATE

shumpy sent me THIS LINK HERE and i installed the driver for my M992 monitor... so far, I can see again...

still slightly sketchy, but the colors are much better.

Thanks SHUMPY!!!!!!!!!!!!
