Interesting, on monitors usually this is corrected by manually adjusting the colouring or hitting the auto adjust.

Its either that or you have a colourblindness setting applied. Go into control panel, display and either do the auto correct or go to presonisation and see whats been fiddled with

how do you manually adjust the colours?

What kind of display do u have.. is it is a Laptop or a Desktop. Can you post a screenshot. It can happen in 2 ways.

1) Software: Someone got into your Control Panel and changed the display settings. In some cases you can do it without getting into the control panel. Follow instructions from ScienceBoy

2) Hardware: You might have accidentally turned one of the knobs/switches around your display. Locate it and turn it the other way.

If nothing else works, Specsavers is doing 2-for-1 on sun glasses :temper:

If its on a laptop then the likely hood is that you can change the brightness using the keyboard. Find the function key (should say fn on it and possibly blue in color) then locate the brightness buttons, on my dell laptop it is the courser keys up and down. The brightness icon will be the same color as the fn letters on the fn key. Hold in the fn key and then press the brightness down button. That should do the trick.

Can you take a pic of it with your phone and post it, also can u post a pic of the keyboard. You may be able to fix it using what Hendo007 just said

I'm assuming its got an ati graphics card like my acer. It should have an icon in the bar on the bottom right aka taskbar. Open up the red ati symbol and it should give you access to it.

Alternatively, try right click on the desktop then properties or graphic properties.

Glad that's sorted. Easy when you know how.
