how do i fix the colors on my monitor
 

i woke up today and my computer turned on with the colors completely screwed up.

im missing certain colors like red and its causing all the other ones to blend into the wrong stuff. ive tried system restore, messing around in adobe gamma, and looking through the intel display settings. ive also manually tried setting up my settings on the monitor but it hasnt helped.

is there something else i can do or any freeware programs that can correct these things for me?

heres the screenshot of the display tab from dxdiag. ill post whatever else people need. http://img172.imageshack.us/img172/7510/dxvideowz0.jpg

degauss is a function in your monitor (if you have a CRT)

my guess is either there is a loose connection between your monitor and video card or your monitor or video card is broken.

i did the degauss and it didnt fix it. i tried looking around for loose cables and even unplugging everything in and out to be sure. it didnt help.

if my monitors broken shouldnt the whole thing have been broken or could have certain colors been the only things to go out? im pretty confident its the red thats gone now as the usual green tab on the left with all the forums is now an ugly bland peach looking color.

Get a new cable. One of the pins is broken.

post a pic of your monitor

check the cable.. and make sure your video card is fully seated. wiggle everything and see if it changes.. depending on the type of monitor, it could be broken. Don't crt's use different guns for every color?

If the color is screwed up uniformly over the whole screen, then it's probably a loose connection in the cable. Try tweaking the cable around where it joins the monitor, and check that none of the pins have broken off or bent where it plugs into your PC. If you find a shop that sells refurbished monitors they should be able to replace the cable for you.
