Guest IC_Clearly Posted August 17, 2008 Posted August 17, 2008 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. -- IC
Guest JS Posted August 17, 2008 Posted August 17, 2008 Re: XP Display Issue With Access 2K 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).

Guest IC_Clearly Posted August 17, 2008 Posted August 17, 2008 Re: XP Display Issue With Access 2K I will check. But, if this setting were not correct would other programs not display incorrectly?

Guest JS Posted August 17, 2008 Posted August 17, 2008 Re: XP Display Issue With Access 2K I can not say for certain, but I did see the exact same problem as yours on an Access DB I created.

Guest IC_Clearly Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 Re: XP Display Issue With Access 2K 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. -- IC "Corday" <10Swinner@net.net> wrote in message news:EA0947FA-2807-4040-B105-7DF9D2755990@microsoft.com... > Not sure I fully understand {50 machines}.Are you the IT person?

Guest Corday Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 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. -- I mastered Wordstar graphics! "IC_Clearly" wrote: > No. I'm not the IT person.
