XP Display Issue With Access 2K

I am running Access 2K on an XP Pro machine. The background color for the

switchboard startup screen and all forms/screens are white, not their

regular colors. There are many versions of this applications running on at

least 50 machines and we have never seen this problem. Further, all reports

that display to the screen have a gray background -- not white. When

printed to a printer they are okay. I checked the desktop property settings

for Windows and they all seem normal. And, this computer is not having

problems with any other programs. The only Office program on the machine is

Access 2K.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks.

Start/Control Panel/Display/Settings Tab/Advanced button/Color Management

Check to see if any (ICM) color profiles have been added or changed from the

profile listed

(if there is one shown inside the "Color profiles currently associated with

this device" box).

I will check. But, if this setting were not correct would other programs

not display incorrectly?

 

Thanks.

I can not say for certain, but I did see the exact same problem as yours on

an Access DB I created.

Unfortunately the IT manager would not let me change any settings.

So, have you solved it?? I'll give the Color Management fix a try tomorrow

and report back.

Re: XP Display Issue With Access 2K

 

Not sure I fully understand {50 machines}.Are you the IT person? Try

degauzing the monitor.

No. I'm not the IT person. We are a software company and we have 50

customers who use this product.

 

Seems if it was a degauzing issue, all images on the monitor would be wrong.

As it is, it is just Access froms and reports that are displayed on the

screen.

Re: XP Display Issue With Access 2K

 

1. Try reinstalling Access

2. If the 50 other machines aren't running XP Pro, this might be the problem

3. Your color profiles should list your monitor and applications you need.

Anything "foreign" should be deleted.

4. Finally, and this is really a stab in the dark, but see if Access is

compatible with your graphics controller.

Some are running XP Pro.
