Blue tinted computer?


Question Posted Friday August 20 2004, 4:07 pm

I keep my computer on pretty much 24 hours a day. It doesn't really seem to be a problem. But earlier today I went to check my computer and it had a blue tint over everything. It has done this before, but last time I just refreshed the desktop, and it went back to normal. This time, I've tried refreshing it and restarting it and it doesn't seem to want to go back to normal. I don't know what I did to make it go blue, and it's a very pretty blue, but I would like to have my normal screen back.

Does anyone have any idea what could be going on?

Try to do a system restore. Go to start - programs - assecorities - system tools - system restart. And restore your computer to about a week ago. Hope I could help! =)

maybe your computer is depressed and so its blue so leave him alone before he jumps into the bathtub with you one night and you both die

That's happened before! What happens is sometimes the plug from your monitor to your CPU comes half way out; try taking it out and plugging it back in!

you probably need to degauss your monitor - this happens when the screen begins to build a magnetic charge and the colors all skew. You should be able to degauss it through the monitor's own menu (not the computer keyboard). Every monitor is different, so I can't give you anything more specific than that. Check the monitor's manual, assuming you still have it. But this definitely sounds like a degauss need.

I don't know much about computers but it could be too much saturation... i dunno.... try playing around with the buttons on the bottom of your screen.

It's fine, mine did that too for a few days, no matter what I did it didn't go away during that time. But within a few days it was gone, just be sure to turn it off at night, give it a rest so to speak, that will probably help speed things up.
