Help! I turned off my computer today. When I turned it back on all the
windows, tool bars, desk top, etc. have a strange pinkish cast. I have tried
system restore but it did not remove the strange color. I am operating in
Windows XP Home edition. Any suggestions. I am still fairly new at this
computer "stuff".

It sounds like the green gun in your monitor is failing.
See if you can borrow another monitor to eliminate that as the cause.

If your VGA (video) cable is not plugged in all the way, you may lose
colors. (ceck both ends)

Either that, or your monitor, or video card is failing. This mode of
failure is uncommon in video cards, more likely in the monitor.
