  Weird Colors in system and apps. Out of ideas

  Posted by Mark Graden on May 2, 2006 at 3:52 pm

  I have been experiencing strange colors in my system and in some apps.

  The first thing i noticed was my desktop pic would sometimes come in desaturated. And my Apple Icon on my dock to.
  All of my label colors in the finder are desaturated to.
  When i launch Photoshop it tells me my calibration profile is corrupt, use or ignore. If I use it the whole color pallette is desaturated and some of the Apple aqua interface elements have tuirned pink.
  If I choose to ignore profile my palette is okay but the interface items are still pink.
  In DVD studio pro every blue graphic I use comes in pink.

  I have tryed calibrating monitors, tech tool, starting from another disk, reformating the disk, reinstalling system software and all apps, zapped PRAM
  Am using 2 monitor cards and it comes up on both.

  After reformat and reinstall it was good for about 4 days and now it is back.

  Help!!!

  How old are the monitors, and have you checked the connections, or tried replacing the cables?

  Best of luck
