Random Visio Stencils Displaying Only as Black and White Lines (No colour)

I'm experiencing a strange problem where some Visio stencils/shapes are displaying only as black and white outlines (i.e. - without any colour). I'm using Visio 2010 on a Samsung NC900 laptop with 8gb RAM, 1.7Ghz i7 CPU on Windows 7.
The symptoms that I'm experiencing are:
The majority of stencils display fine in the left hand stencil window but some do not.
Some stencils display the majority of shapes as black and white outlines but some in full colour.
Some shapes display fine within the stencil window but change to black and white outline when I drag them to the drawing (These are typically ones that I open independently of the drawing - i.e. - by double clicking rather than via "Search Shapes").
I've done a search on the web for this problem and have found some similar issues but none of the suggested fixes work.
One of the stencils that I experience this issue with is the Exchange 2013 Microsoft stencil.
I've updated Java and Silverlight (stab in the dark there) and my graphics driver is up to date.
It's driving me mad now so any help would be appreciated!

The remove profile worked like a charm with the greyscale images. Maybe a slight loss of contrast, but I'll hold the tiff scan in any case. I-photo would not import the image again (already in the library) but I can remove the profile on the image in my folder outside i-photo. And I think I can prevent it at import now.
Thanks! I doubt I would ever have figured that one out.

  • How can I prevent my screen getting covered with black and white lines while working on the internet which only happens with firefox and only go when I 'go back' or go down a page?

    It happens as I surf - horizontal black and white lines particularly when I scroll down and only goes if I can go to a new page or go back a page. It is driving me crazy and only happens with firefox. I have disabled all plug ins but it still happens.

    Try to disable hardware acceleration.
    *Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
    If disabling hardware acceleration works then check if there is an update available for your graphics display driver.

  • No matter what website I am on all of a sudden the page will be covered in black and white lines and I can't see any of the page. What is happening and how do I fix it? It has only started since I loaded Firefox 4 this week.

    I am very frustrated because I keep having my pages become covered completely in black and white lines. It has even happened on this page when I tried to use the drop down arrow by 'this happened'. I can sometimes read the page if I click over the area I want to read but this is not common. This has only been happening since I downloaded Firefox 4. I thought this would be a better version but now I am not so sure.

    I do not want to download another virus program.. I do not believe it is a virus. I am running the full version of Norton 360 and it is doing a daily scan. I have Windows 7, 64 bit OS.
    This is very irritating !! If I wanted Yahoo I would ask for it !

  • IChat video only in black and white?

    When I use iChat, the video output is only in black and white. Does anyone know how I can get it to return to full color?

    Hi,
    Click on your own Video icon so you have a Preview of your Video
    GO to the Video Menu and Select Video Effects.
    In there whichever "Page" it is On select the middle one.
    iChat will remember any Effect or, on Intels, any Backdrop you set if it is still active on ending A Video chat.

  • Hp photosmart 7150 only prints black and white with mac

    My hp photosmart 7150 only prints black and white with mac.  I have tried installing and uninstalling, installing drivers, but no change.

    Hi,
    You did not mentioned your Mac OS X version, however I assume you have one of the latest versions.
    The Photosmart 7150 is not supported on Mac OS X v10.6, v10.7, v10.8 or v10.9 and therefore it is more than likely that there are no drivers for your OS and the used Generic Driver only provide B&W printing.
    Although it is not officially supported you may check 3rd party solutions such as the 3rd party HP-IJS print drivers which list your printer as supported.
    Be sure to install any of the 3 required downloads, then click the plus sign under Printers & Scanners, click the Use drop down and click on Select Printer Software.
    Search for your printer model form the list and select the driver, I believe that may work:
    http://www.linuxfoundation.org/collaborate/workgroups/openprinting/macosx/hpijs
    Although it only list up to 10.8 (Mountain Lion) it should also work on Mavericks from my experience.
    Hope that may help,

  • Macbook display shows black and white lines when fullscreen

    If i leave my Macbook on for a while without shutting down and then I view a photo or movie (in player or safari) fullscreen the screen shows just black and white lines. Sort of like bad tv reception. It has happened a few times and a reboot has fixed it but it comes back. Any ideas anyone?
    Thanks

    I have a similar problem. Not sure you're on here (since the post is really old) but did you manage to work it out? How?
    My thread:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/19007548#19007548
    My Imac froze earlier today as I was dragging an image from safari into indesig and when it froze the weirdest pattern overlaid the screen. It looked just like the opacity pattern from photoshop with grey and white squares. I turned the computer off using the power button and unplugged everything.
    Now when I try to start it these weird lines appear on my start up screen (see link)...
    http://meijerladdaruppgrejer.wordpress.com/2012/07/24/oops/
    as you can see the apple and the wheel appears as normal...
    ... then it moves to a normal looking white screen (perhaps a bit greener than usual) and around 30 seconds later freezes at the blue screen.
    I've tried the cmd + alt + p + r several times but it won't help.
    If i press alt during start up I can see and choose my hard drive but just end up at the blue screen again.
    Can I try starting it up in safe mode or something?

  • HT4061 I have black and white lines on my screen what is up?

    My screen is displaying black and white lines. How do I fix it?

    Try a reset. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone will reboot. If that doesn't fix it, then make an appointment at the Genius Bar as it sounds like you screen has given up.

  • Scrolling with mouse on pages create black and white lines,

    When scrolling with mouse, periodically the whole screen turns into black and white lines. Sometimes whole page, sometimes just pictures/side ads. If you continue to scroll it does go away but then you need to scroll back to where the lines started, its hard to explain, i have taken 1 photo of the problem but will take more photos as i can, i really enjoy how Firefox runs on my computer, it has always been the best browser for my needs. I did recently buy a new desktop, but it did it then also, so i removed it and tried running explorer and Google and i just don't like them, so i am hoping we can get this fixed.

    Try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.

  • My new iPhone 5 has black and white lines on the screen. It's not been damaged. I've tried turning it off but this does not solve the problem? Please help.

    My new iPhone 5 has black and white lines on the screen. It's not been damaged. I've tried turning it off but this does not solve the problem? Please help. I can't find my answer on the Internet.

    By far the most common problem hardware-wise seems to be scuffs on the aluminium. Yours is the first report of a faulty screen I've seen.
    If you use the same Apple ID on both devices it'll sync whatever you want it to - music/apps/photos/messages/etc.
    I've just switched from a Galaxy S3 to iPhone 5 (having already owned an iPad for a while) so I'm in a similar position!

  • Horizontal black and white lines on screen

    I accidentally dropped my iPhone on my macbook track pad. It was about a 6" drop, nothing huge. But when the phone hit the laptop, the macbook screen immediately went to horizontal black and white lines. It reminded me of static on a tv.  The lines lasted for about 30 seconds and then the laptop shut down and restarted itself.
    Should I be checking the hard drive or anything?

    " But when the phone hit the laptop, the macbook screen immediately went to horizontal black and white lines. It reminded me of static on a tv.  The lines lasted for about 30 seconds and then the laptop shut down and restarted itself."
    How's it been running since then? Possibly you hit it hard enough to put a voltage transient through the machine.
    Hopefully the logic board wasn't damaged but do what Oglethorpe says and have Apple run an ASD on it.

  • Why does my photoshop keep giving black and white lines when I use my lasso tool?

    why does my photoshop keep giving black and white lines when I use my lasso tool? It has never done this before last night. It filles the Whole lasso seleted box with (what it almost looks like) black and white caution lines. then when I go to zoom out, my zoom option starts to mess up where you cant click and move your mouse to zoom in/out with ease but where you have to click to zoom out (many times).
    Can ANYONE help me?

    I am using CS5, WIndows 7, I am not sure how to tell if my drivers are up to, and I am more than happy to screen shot it.

  • How can I get my printer to print in color? I can only print black and white

    HP Officejet 6500 E710n-z-------windowsxp      My printer will not print anything in color.   How can Iget my printer to print in color?  I can only print in black and white.    It is a new Printer and we just installed it 2 wks ago.

    I am not sure I understand ''it still will not print. ''
    If you cannot see any content on pages you printed or in print preview, the cause might be margins which are set too high.
    #In order to check the margins, we need to go to ''File'' > ''Page Setup''.
    #Once this is done, switch to the ''Margins & Header/Footer'' tab.
    #Check what's set there under ''Margins''.
    The following are the default values for ''Margins'':
    '''Right''': 12.7
    '''Top''': 12.7
    '''Left''': 12.7
    '''Bottom''': 12.7
    Check these values accordingly and change them if necessary.

  • Only printing black and white

    I'm using a macbook 13" with an airport express and an HP deskjet 4100. I can print wirelessly just fine, but I can only print in black and white. Any ideas how to remedy this situation?

    Hello MariPan,
    Welcome to the HP Forums.
    Have you attempted to do a colour copy?  If the copy is black and white as well, we then know that it is strictly an issue with the printer and not a setting on the computer.
    Please respond with which Operating System you are running just in case it is an issue in the computer.
    Which Windows Operating System am I running?
