Hello all. New poster here who is desparate for information.
So here's the senario: I was going through the add/remove screen and taking
off old games and programs that I didn't use anymore in an effort to clear up
space on my "C" drive. It seems we really like our iTunes at our house...and
we wanted more room for downloads.
So, after taking off many programs without problems, I began removing an old
Yahoo Messenger installation pack. After clicking "remove," the whole screen
blipped out and went black for a second before comming back up on the blue
welcome screen, and then signing out. The computer then restarted. I
figured it just had a hiccup and decided to restart, so I didn't think much
of it besides how weird it was that it did it on it's own. However, once it
rebooted, it looked like someone had sent my computer back to 1992. All the
colors were low-bit and washed out looking. The computer reccommended to
raise the color of the monitor up to a higher resolution. I thought it would
be a quick fix. However, when I went to the monitor options to change it
back to a higher level, it would only give me the option of 4 bits! Now, I'm
stuck with no idea what to do. I thought about calling support, but I don't
know if they would give me the information without charging me...and around
the holidays, I need to keep all my funds in a row, so to speak.
Any help is much appreciated!
Possible related items: Before removing programs, I did other things to
help get my C drive in order, including Disk Cleanup and Compression and
Indexing.
