    I got a strang experience today. I was using internet, when suddenly my notebook screen became lemon green( just like famous windows blue screen, but no text over it and lemon green color instead of blue). I waited for a while but no effect, so I switched off my PC and rebooted, it was OK after that. All that I could remember is that about 5-10 min before this I installed ZA Pro trial and after I finished installation, it asked me to restart the PC. I was surfing, so I just dragged the message window to one side and continued using net.

    Anybody knows about this or got this experience.

    color calibration is way off ;)


    though on a more serious note we have a A64 desktop at work that will sometimes lock up to a white screen, and sometimes the white screen has blue pinstripes. no idea why though.

    Such none conventional errors (windows blue screens and the like) are sometimes the result of graphic card failure or graphic driver error. Not necessarly something that needs repair, if happens rarely.

    If any of you have ATI cards (not sure if nVidia has the feature) in the drivers' settings there is an option to reinitialize drivers in case they crash. Make sure that option is enabled.

    Maybe has something to do with you NOT restarting your machine. Tsk, tsk, you gotta do as they instruct. :)

    I'm guessing some kind of software conflict with your videocard drivers.

    Cheers,
