Display colo change after bootup

I have a G4 IBook whose colors change after boot is complete, contrast & brightness go haywire after a few seconds, I have to go into a game to reset the settings , then exit the game and all is fine until I boot the next time ,then it is the same drill
IBook G4 1.42mhz, Nvidia Gforce 9550 video card   Mac OS X (10.4.9)   tried adjusting display colors,no luck there either, could this be a video card driver problem?

Open the Universal Access pane of System Preferences, click on the Seeing tab, move the contrast slider all the way to the left, set the monitor to Black on White, and turn off the other checkboxes except for the one which controls access for assistive devices, the state of which doesn't matter.

  • External display resolution changes after returning from display sleep

    I often use an external display as a second screen with my Macbook Pro (OS X 10.8.2)  However, when I return to the computer after the display has gone to sleep, the external display resolution changes when the display reappears.  Then I have to go into System Preferences > Display and "Detect Displays" in order to return the external display to the proper resolution.
    Does anybody know of a way for me to avoid having to do this every time my display sleeps?
    Thank you,
    Adam

    I have the exact same problem.
    I found the key combination ⌘ alt F2 also restores the proper resolution on both displays, however it's still a bit annoying

  • Mac Mini display settings change after shutdown

    After a shutdown, my Mac Mini's display settings will change on startup. This happens about 80% to 90% of the time.
    Sometimes it may be due to playing a video game (Diablo 3) where the resolution in the game is slightly lower. The Mac Mini is set to 1080p, but in-game it is 1600x900. After playing a game, maybe half the time, when I go back to my desktop, the display looks different. However, even other times even when I wasn't playing a game, after a shutdown, the display settings will change.
    The strange thing is that it isn't a change in resolution. The resolution stays the same. It is always 1080p after every shutdown. But something in the display changes. Curved shaped look more pixelized, like some kind of smoothing or antialiasing has been turned off. And bright things are too bright, dark things too dark, so images lose some detail. It is also a bit painful on the eyes. Everything looks less vivid and very dull.
    Someone in an older post suggested changing refresh rates. Unfortunately, my Mac Mini doesn't show that option. It was also suggested to connect to a different monitor to possibly make the options appear. But I don't have another monitor.
    My current solution is to reset NVRAM (command+option+P+R) on startup. It seems to reset the display settings and fixes the display problem 100% of the time. But the thing is, I have to now keep doing this almost everytime I start up my Mac, which is annoying.
    Is there a way to ensure that the Mac Mini keeps my display settings and prevent it from losing them on startup? Or perhaps, a way to reset display settings from within the OS without having to shutdown again and reset NVRAM?

    hey p26grinz,
    without the external monitor and after setting the display, will the setting remain ?
    have you tried uninstalling the graphic driver from your unit and then testing it with generic driver ?

  • Display settings change after reboot

    Thinkpad T400: 7417CTO
    Windows XP Pro w/SP3
    No docking station
    I configure the extended desktop for external monitor and thinkpad LCD (both 1280 x768).
    After I reboot for the first few seconds I see the display as pre-boot, then the displays are reconfigured for
    single image at 800x600.
    What is causing the display settings to change? 
    How do I prevent the display settings from changing?

  • Display colors change after start up

    Hi, I recently tried to open a Power Point file which was too heavy and I got so desperate that I hit the keyboards as if they were a piano... Final result is that now everytime I start up the computer the display colors are all a mess, like if the "negative" part of the picture shows up instead of the true colors. I know the display is ok, for when the computer is started, the initial screen colors show up well.
    I would not like having to reload the operating system to fix the problem.
    Any suggestions?

    Open the Universal Access pane of System Preferences, click on the Seeing tab, turn off the White on Black option, move the Contrast slider all the way to the left, and deactivate the remaining options except for the one which controls access to assistive devices.

  • My display keeps changing to 800x600 after upgrade to 10.8.3

    After upgrading to 10.8.3 my display keeps changing to 800x600 after it wakes up from sleep. I have to go to preferences and set again, and it works. It is quite annoying. Any clue.

    Not much to go on.
    What monitor and connection method are you using with the mac Mini..?
    Have you tried resetting the > NVRAM and PRAM
    1. Shut down the computer.
    2. Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    3. Turn on the computer.
    4. Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
    5. Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    6. Release the keys.

    Welcome to Apple's discussion groups.
    I'll presume that you can adjust the brightness after bootup. If that display preference is kept in PRAM, it's possible that the PRAM battery is wearing out.
    Here's what Apple says about what's stored in PRAM:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1242
    To test that possibility, turn off "Set date and time automatically" in the Date & Time panel of System Preferences (if it's set), shut down and unplug your Mac, then let it sit for a few minutes. When you reboot it, check the system date and time. If the PRAM battery is failing, those may be set incorrectly.
    iFixit describes replacing the PRAM battery of an iMac G5 as of "moderate" difficulty. See these pages:

  • Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2 domain join displays error "Changing the Primary Domain DNS name of this computer to "" failed...."

    Hi,
    Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2 domain join displays error "Changing the Primary Domain DNS name of this computer to "" failed...."
    DC:windows Server 2008 R2
    Domain functional level:Windows Server 2003
    When Winxp join domain, have no this error message.
    I checked http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2018583?wa=wsignin1.0 does't work.
    There have 3 suggestion in this article:
    1.The "Disable NetBIOS over TCP/IP" checkbox has been disabled in the IPv4 properties of the computer being joined.
    Doesnt's work.
    2.Connectivity over UDP port 137 is blocked between client and the helper DC servicing the join operation in the target domain.
    On my DC, I run netstat -an, reslut as below:
     UDP    192.168.20.3:137       *:*
    3.The TCP/IPv4 protocol has been disabled so that the client being joined or the DC in the destination domain targeted by the LDAP BIND is running TCP/IPv6 only.
    We are not using IPV6.
    This server recently updated from Windows Server 2003 to Windows Server 2008 R2. Before upgrade, when Win7 and Win2008 join this domain, also have the same error message.
    Please help to check this issue.
    Thank you very much.

    Hi Guo Ying,
    I have faced this critical error which makes over-writes the host names in the domain when you join.
    For example: Already you had a host name called as PC.domain.com in the domain.com Domain.
    When you try to add the another host name called as PC in the domain.com Domain, it doesn't give you the duplicate name error on the network it does over-write the existing host name called as PC.domain.com & it will add the new host name into the domain.
    Host name which got over-written will get removed from the domain. I faced this issue in my project. My DPM host name got removed from the Domain & new host name got joined into the domain which halted my backups for one day.
    Final Resolution is as follows:
    You need to start the dns console on the DC & drop down the domain name.
    Select the _msdcs when you click on _msdcs it will show the Name Server's list on the right hand side.
    You need to add the Domain Naming Master under the _msdcs or add all the domain controllers which you had.
    After you add the Name server's try joining the PC OR Laptop to the domain which is successfully joins it.

  • When creating a new window in safari, using command T, the marker have not activated the search field. It means you have to click there every time. Changed after upgrading to Mavericks. Anyone knows how to change this?

    When creating a new window in safari, using command T, the marker have not activated the search field. It means you have to click there every time. Changed after upgrading to Mavericks. Anyone knows how to change this?

    Yes, you can do something like that. What you would do is create a button for each image and then hide them. When I do this type of thing I place all of the buttons on a template page and then hide the template.
    You can then use JavaScript to copy the icon from any of the hidden buttons to the main button that you've set up to display the image. For example, suppose you set up 10 buttons named b1, b2, b3, ...b10. The code to copy the icon from one of them to the button used to display the image (b0) would be something like this:
    // Get the icon from the b3 button
    var oIcon = getField("b3").buttonGetIcon();
    // Get  reference to the b0 button
    var f = getField("b0");
    // Set the icon of the b0 button to the icon retrieved from the hidden button
    f.buttonSetIcon(oIcon);
    // Show the b0 button
    f.display = display.visible;
    This code would go in the Mouse Up event of the smaller button.

  • Lenovo Ideapad U410: Display not working after sleep and/or restart

    Hello all,
    I am recently having some inconsistent display issues with my Lenovo U410 laptop i7 1TB with a Windows 8 PRO upgrade (came with windows 7). 
    When I press the Power Button on my laptop to put it to sleep, the Screen turns black as if it is off, but the Power & Battery LEDs on the front of the laptop remain on, as well as the LED on the power button.  However, when I try to wake my laptop, there is no response on the screen (remaining black as if it is off).  The internal fan is running, however I receive no feedback when "blindly" trying to input my password.
    I've tried to turn the power off and back on to no avail.  I've also removed the power source and held the power button for a couple of seconds and that did not solve the issue either. I've tried connecting the laptop to a screen via HDMI (since there is no other AV port on the device), but there was no signal being sent through. 
    This is an inconsistent issue that began yesterday 6/11/2013.  When the laptop is left alone for a little and is turned on again, the display works, but after closing the lid (sleep) or pressing the button, the display fails to turn on upon awakening.
    In most recent circumstances, Today (6/12/2013) I was installing a Windows update that required my computer to restart.  When the update configured perfectly BEFORE it was restarting, but AFTER the restart, my internal fan began to work, but the display was not on.
    Does anybody or Tech support know what may cause this inconsistent behavior?  or know any solutions to this issue?

    I am facing similar problem - post sleep & sometimes on touchpad event - the screen gets stuck & a strange array of gray screen comes or the existing screen's colors get distorted & the laptop gets stuck. 
    model - Lenovo U410; 64 Bit; Windows 7 Home basic;,  Intel core i5 processor 
    I have upgraded display drivers but that hasn't changed anything. Any help is appreciated.

  • Yoga display turns off after 1 minute

    I'm having an annoying problem with my new Yoga related to the display and have not seen any other posts with a similar complaint so perhaps this is a simple fix that I'm just not able to sort out on my own. My display turns off after 1 minute of inactivity. The only means for changing behavior like this that I am aware of is through the Control Panel Power Options. My settings for "turn off the display" are 10 minutes on battery and Never while plugged in (note screen shot attached). Regardless of my settings, the screen turns off after 1 minute. I've changed the settings to multiple configurations and restarted with no change in behavior. Perhaps there's some other settings area, maybe something specific to Lenovo that I'm not aware of (since this is my first Lenovo laptop). Anyone with similar problems or insight?

    This may be a Windows 8 issue. I finally fixed this problem by identifying the screen saver as the issue (and I wasn't using a screen saver). Type "lock the computer" into the search box after clicking the search charm, which brings up the screen saver dialog box. Mine was set to 1 minute, though I'd never set it myself. If you can't change it, choose a screen saver and you should be able to do so (and can then switch back to no screen saver). BUT, here's the problem. Other things you install (or settings within things you install) can apparently change and override whatever you type in for the delay time. Try applying your new time and exiting from the dialog box, then open it back up again. I was finding that it kept going back to 1 minute. To reset things so that you can get control again, type "user accounts" into the search box and when the dialog box comes up, choose "Reset Security Policies". Then you can go back to the screen saver dialog and successfully change the delay time.

  • X230 display brightness changes automatically

    Hi,
    I have a problem when I'm using my X230 from battery: every know and then the display brightness changes, it gets lower (even without any user activity). Also it seems that the color profile also changes, colors look washed out. After few minutes or sometimes seconds, it goes back to normal. However, I have this issue quite often.
    Is there a solution? Is it something to do with my power settings?
    Thank you.

  • No internet access after bootup on some clients.

    Hi,
    Some of our client pc's do not have internet access after bootup in the morning. The quick solution is to login as administrator disable & re-enable the network adapter and than everything is fine for a few more days. There is nothing showing up in the
    event viewer and it doesn't always happen. 
    Can anyone advise on how best to track down the problem?
    Thanks.

    Cheers, I noticed that the DHCP role is installed but the service has stopped. When I start it, it stopped straight away.
    I think that's because the router has an ip address of 192.168.0.1 and sbs server currently has an ip address of 192.168.0.10. Do I have to change the router ip address to something else and set the server to 192.168.0.1?

  • Excel layout changed after EHP5 upgrade from EHP4.

    Hi All,
    We have just finished the EHP5 upgrade from EHP4 for ECC 6.0 for our production system. BUT we noticed that The standard layout, (also known as Dynamic List Display) has been chagned in EHP5 compare to EHP4.
    This is affected us as we have lot of macros enable for the excel files.
    Request you all to help. Is there any sapnote, anyway we can resolved this issue.
    Thanks

    Hi Markus,
    Thanks for reply.
    I not sure how i can attached file over here? Is there anyway to attached files in the forum?. I have the before and after image of excel file.
    But the position of the data which is downloaed in the excel sheet has been changed after upgrade. For example ,Before upgrade the column named "Description" in the production plan report was in the second column i.e. B where as after upgrade the "Description" column in the production plan report is in the first column i.e. A.
    I mean the postion of the data changed in after upgrade. Therefore macro which are enable are not working anymore.
    New Format Example
    Production plan          
    Description                        Material                               Sales doc.
    IRB 2600 M2004                 3HAC020536-018              104861

    Hope this above will help to make it clear.
    After checking this message ... the output example given above seems to be not showing the way i itend to... But in above example in the old format the Description column was at column B instead of column A after upgrade.
