MS Office Forum / Word / Menus and Toolbars / June 2004Word causes changes to monitor display
Following problems with installation of Win XP Pro, I am left with an irritating action whenever I open Word for Windows. The screen goes black, then the colour display changes. It looks as if there has been a change to 256 colours, and the status bar is sort of "skeletal". Other applications are affected while Word is open. On closing Word, the reverse happens and the screen returns to its normal colour display of "Highest (32 bit)" and all is well Is there a registry entry or something which got messed up? Hi YabbieOne, Sounds to me like a problem with your graphics card driver. You might check the manufacturer's website for the newest version, download and install it. > Following problems with installation of Win XP Pro, I am > left with an irritating action whenever I open Word for [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > Is there a registry entry or something which got messed > up? Cindy Meister INTER-Solutions, Switzerland http://homepage.swissonline.ch/cindymeister (last update Jun 8 2004) http://www.word.mvps.org This reply is posted in the Newsgroup; please post any follow question or reply in the newsgroup and not by e-mail :-) Hello Cindy I have tried the video card route to no avail. Thanks. It has been suggested that the newer version of XP Pro (now uninstalled) had an option to alter the screen display(I am presently running FAT32, but the newer version was NFTS - hope those are correct) for Word. I recall seeing something like that but cannot recall where it was or what I did which caused things to change. It only happens with Word; Excel, Access and others fire up with no changes. >-----Original Message----- >Hi YabbieOne, [quoted text clipped - 28 lines] > >. Hello again, Cindy As with many of these problems, the solution is ridiculously easy. I right clicked on the desktop link to Word, and found that the display in 256 colours box was checked. Unchecked it and all was well Thanks for the response, it encouraged me to keep looking >-----Original Message----- >Hi YabbieOne, [quoted text clipped - 28 lines] > >. |
