You need to reinstall your Video/graphic drivers.

And set your monitor to another one rather than Default monitor

The monitor doesn't make any difference.

[Reply or follow-up to this message]

The monitor has Nothing to do with it. 

P.S. Thanks.. NOT.. for posting below my message again, when we've asked politely, 
explained many time, pleaded with you to post ABOVE. Consider yourself reported.

Well I can assure you it does on mine, it always as done for many many years.

If I do a format and rebuild I install my video drivers so I can set my colours to 
what I want. The next day I startup and the colours are back to 16. I go to change 
them back and I can't. I check the monitor and it says Default monitor. I put in 
the drivers for the monitor I'm using, now I can change the colours to what every 
colours I want too.

I've had 2 monitors with this computer and both of them do the same thing. So I'm 
telling you it always makes a different to me.

Once again, I can't quote you because you posted below the text instead of above. 
Why do you REFUSE to listen to anyone else?

Anyway, you have a very strange setup, if that's the case. Default monitor, or not, 
really makes no difference in the screen appearance. So, you don't know what you're 
talking about.





On both my previous, very old system and my newer 2-1/2 yr. old Dell running XP, 
with a Flat Panel monitor... default monitor looks no different, than when I change 
it so it has the mfgr. name.

Not not refusing to listen. I'm just giving my point of view thats what forums are 
for, yes.


>So, you don't know what you're talking about.

Oh, so you know everything Carol, typical woman. 

[Reply or follow-up to this message]

Giving your point of view about what, Keith? 
1. The monitor vs. video subject? or..
2. the fact that you refuse to be more considerate of others in regard posting your 
reply ABOVE the post?

No, I don't know everything and have no idea how you read that into my comment. The 
thing is we can all learn from each other, but you refuse to change your stance on 
anything, no matter how many of us point out you're wrong. 

"None are so ignorant as those who refuse to learn."

Its not a matter about being considerate, I'm very considerate. Its a matter of using 
a desent forum. I use 40 different forums and EVERYONE apart from this one 
if you add a reply to a topic its always placed the last on in the list. And when 
you go back to the topic lists because that was the topic that was the last one replied 
too it goes to the top of the list. This must be the only forum that you can't PM/email 
any Admin or Mods to give your comments or complaints.


>No, I don't know everything and have no idea how you read that into my comment.

I've read a lot of your other posts and you give some valuable information, so you 
do know a lot.


>The thing is we can all learn from each other, but you >refuse to change your stance

There is nothing that springs to mind. Please give a for instances.

Yes, 4th-rate forum software is widely available.  I chose *this* site
(in no small part) **because** of the way the posts are THREADED.

There is a word for people who won't adapt to the *existing* paradigm:

Has Annoyances support ever contacted you about complaints re your posting below 
the messages? I contacted them directly yesterday with a detailed explanation. I 
also encourage others who feel the same way to contact them about it. (btw, not via 
report abuse link)

You're a very polite, mild mannered person, Keith. I can't imagine you being intentionally 
inconsiderate of others. I have no problem with you, other than the way you insist 
on posting your messages. Have you ever hit reply to your own posts? "Reply or follow-up 
to this message"

You say, Its a matter of using a desent forum. I use 40 different forums and EVERYONE 
apart from this one. 

As I've said in a past discussion over this very issue (like over a yr. ago. now), 
maybe you should stick with posting on the Other 39 forums, if you don't like this 
one and refuse to cooperate with other forum 'helpers'. 

You're annoying us, frustrating us and angering us. Yet, you refuse to change your 
method according to the way things are on these forums. 

Blocking Unwanted Parasites with a Hosts File

Keith, The simple fact is, as has been pointed out before, when you tack your post on
the end, you are not replying to the OP as intended, as in this thread you replied to Carol.

You know how this forum works, the OP wouldn't get notification that you'd responded
and, on the other hand, frankly it's irritating when you get a notification
that somone has responded to your message only to find that it's
someone like you intending to answer the OP. I turned off notifications a
while ago for this very reason.

So no, it's not considerate to either the person you repond to or the person you
should have responded to.

Do you think people keep picking you up on this just for kicks?

[Reply or follow-up to this message]

So, it's just you then.

[Reply or follow-up to this message]

KeithT, the other Keith intended for this post to be in reply to mine not the OP's. 

You wouldn't get a notification about this one (for example), unless you subscribed 
to the "thread". He seems to be doing better responding to the OP when intended.

I click on the [Reply or follow-up to this message] under the person that I want 
to see and comment on what they have written.

If I want to say something to someone specific I will highlight their name e.g. @Bald 
Eagle or PM them.

Carol you said you email admin yesterday can I ask where you had the link from? I've 
searched but I can't find one.

I'm sorry if it annoys you for how I post and what I write in my post buts that's 
how I do things on forums, its an open forum. You can always complain to admin.

[Reply or follow-up to this message]

I click on the [Reply or follow-up to this message] under the person that I want 
to see and comment on what they have written.

I realize that Keith, but have a look at one of YOUR posts, i.e. how it looks to 
us, when WE click reply to YOU. None of your message shows up in the reply window. 
It's not just annoying, it's maddening.

We should NOT have to contact them about it, but as I said I emailed them a complaint 
yesterday about the way you post your responses. The thing is, you need to do it 
differently on these forums. There's even a message about it up there, as I've pointed 
out before. 

It's shown EXACTLY like this.....

Type your message here:
(important: place your response at the beginning of the message)

If you want to quote someone, why can't you cut/paste the text you want to comment 
on, like the rest of us do? It may be a little more trouble, but at least you aren't 
posting way at the bottom of their message. 

You should keep all your responses on the forum. That's how it's s'posed to be done. 
As for contacting Annoyances, you need to go to Help and follow the yellow brick 
road. 

HOWEVER, if you plan to contact them and expect them to change something you don't 
like, you're wasting your time. They use "home grown" forum software. They have "upgraded 
it a few times and made a few helpful changes, we've been wanting. Who know which 
life time, it'll be before the make any further changes.
