My cat jumped up on my keyboard, it made a bunch of beeps, then most
everything displayed got a greenish hue. I tried "system restore" to even a
week earlier, changing "appearence" and "themes" didn't work. Even the heart
icon that goes to the "hearts game" is a greyish shade of green. Also, my
Zuma game has a green hue. And the "start" button with the Microsoft logo is
green. And Outlook Express has an aqua hue.

Any suggestions? Please!

Everything has a hue? Even white backgrounds have a green hue?

Check the color management for your video drivers. Kitty may have changed
color profiles on you if they are assigned key shortcuts...

Usually can get at them from Display Properties --> Settings --> Advanced

Side note: My kitty used to love to sleep on my keyboard. Leave the room
for a minute and he would lay right down on the keyboard. It was even
annoying with screensaver running because he would keep interrupt the
screensaver, keeping an almost static display of the login screen. Found a
solution: a program that analyzes keystrokes for a pattern that appears
"random" and consistent with little paws. When such a pattern was
generated, it played a varying frequency sound that cats absolutely hate.
It ran both while a desktop was active and while a screensaver was running.
I forget the name as I stopped using it after kitty became scared of the
Keyboard Monster.
