Reinstalling the Driver should restore all the Colors, and Resolution.

Boot up in Safe Mode 2. Run Scandisk (Drive C) 3. Restart your Computer See if scandisk took care of the problem. If not, try using a different mouse.

It shows that a driver conflict exists (because the mouse driver is about the only device driver that gets loaded in Safe Mode: as the conflicting driver is not loaded, there is no conflict while in Safe Mode). Go to Device Manager: START > SETTINGS > CONTROL PANEL > SYSTEM > DEVICE MANAGER In Device Manager, highlight the Display Adapter: 1. Click on the "+" sign next to 'Display Adapters'. 2. Click on the actual (named) adapter. 3. Then delete the named adapter by clicking "Remove". If there are any entries with an exclamation mark against them (which indicates a fault), remove those entries also, in the same way. Then reboot. Windows will automatically re-install the correct drivers in the course of the re-boot. If this doesn't cure the fault, reboot into SAFE mode. Then open the Device Manager again, and (using the same procedure) delete all "ghost" entries seen there, i.e. those entries that ONLY show up in Safe Mode. Then reboot. This type of fault is caused by a driver conflict, and is often due to the presence of a driver for a device that is not in use. Such drivers only show up in Safe Mode, which shows all installed drivers. Only those for the devices currently attached to the system are shown when in Protected (i.e. normal) mode.
