Answer 1

The answer to that is your video card driver. Look for the CD that comes with your video card and install its driver and some related programs. You should also install the driver that comes with your monitor. Usually it comes with a program that will make the displayed color as close as possible to what it would print in case you want to print a particular picture.

There are several reasons why your monitor keeps changing background color:

1. Because you're viewing the desktop as a Web Page, most likely. Right-click the desktop and deselect Active Desktop>View As Web Page.

2. This symptom very often come from a loose connection. Check all leads connecting your monitor to your computer. Unplug your monitor connector & then replug it back in, making sure it is properly seated all the way. Then tighten the screws/thumb screws that may come with it.
If the problem persists, jiggle the cable a bit at both ends and see if you notice some changes in color of your monitor. If it exhibits that, then you have a loose connection or a bad cable or perhaps even a bad connector.

3. Also you have to re-define your monitor if it is defined as simple Plug&Play Monitor: Display Properties -- Settings tab -- Advanced... button -- Monitor tab -- Change... button -- select your model here.

4. If your correct drivers are installed, you should be able to accomplish this edit: Start/Run/Regedit

Start/Run/Regedit: HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG\Display\Settings
In the right pane, right click resolution, modify, 800,600. (Registry, Exit).

Answer 2

Your problem most likely has nothing to do with the drivers.

Most likely, the cable for your monitor is either loose or damaged. Double check the connections to make sure they are tight, if they are, try wiggling the cable while watching the monitor to see if the colors are changing.

If the connections are tight, and when you wiggle the cable the colors change, then you need a new cable.

What the printer prints has little to do with what's shown on the reveal screen. The printer chooses its colorings in accordance with what colorings are programmed into the record or image or maybe though is being revealed...it particularly is the place the reveal screen could be getting the colour concepts, too. If it particularly is not, there may well be a concern with your snap shots card.
