I guess this is a video card or monitor problem. Both are about 10 years old. What's the best way to sort out this problem? I suppose I will have to try a new video card. Also, has anyone used the clam antivirus program? Is it suitable for eComStation?

Suggest you'll attach another monitor just to check it out. -- Groeten uit Gent, Kris http://www.taartenbakkerij dot com/bestanden/warpstock-europe-2005-dresden.jpg http://www.taartenbakkerij dot com/bestanden/zum_weberplatz.jpg ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- **= Email 3 ==========================** Date: Tue, 01 Nov 2005 23:35:17 +1100 From: "Robert Traynor (BobT)" Subject: Re: Monitor problems Hi Alan, I Have a 15 inch Sony Trinitron that is waiting on me to fit a new cable to it. I had the same problem where the colours changed radically with a yellowish cast and I eventually found that flexing the cable 3 inches back from where it connected to the video card, would _sometimes_ restore the colour. As far as I could tell, there was a break in one of the wires in the cable. The cable was also VERY stiff and thick. Constant moving/reconnecting the cable to a computer ultimately broke the wire. I should add that this is my spare/test system and I am always moving the monitor or cable from one box to another. Other than a cable problem you could have a faulty tube or component in the monitor. Try flexing the cable every inch, starting from the back of the computer and watch the screen at the same time.
