Hi,
So I got on my PC to find that my text has gone purple. The computer text is not purple itself, but when I am hovering over a website for example, I get this purple text and I want to get rid of it.

That is an image of what I am talking to you about. It really is bizarre and I do not know why it is doing it.

Type in this address (or copy/paste) and open it as you would do a webpage:

chrome://flags/#force-color-profile

You should see Force color profile in highlighted colors. On the right, change it to sRGB. Relaunch Chrome test it out. If that doesn't work, try any other options listed there where sRGB is.

See sarjoor's post here near the bottom of the page.

If that doesn't work, change it back to Default and wait for additional answers from others.


First off your image isn't showing up on the forum.

I would guess that some security in your anti-malware software is detecting a problem with the website. Try another familiar site and see if the text remains.

It could also be a security setting in your browser.

What does the text say?
 


I know it isnt the website or anti-malware. I dont know how to send images or else I would show you

 


There are many websites available to upload images onto a forum. Here is one.

http://tinypic.com/

The method is to press the print screen button. Then go to Windows paint and press Paste. Then select Save As from the File menu. Then select the option to save it as a JPEG file.

Then on the website select browse for your file (in documents) and upload it. Then copy the resultant file for use on forums. And lastly paste that file on the forum.
 


Here it looks like this

Copy the code under "IMG Code for Forums & Message Boards" to the forum.

Did it work?
 


are there any other websites for it? its rly hard to explain my problem
 


Noo its not that. The text is purple when I hover over something or go into settings. Theres no way to show you. If i had your number or email I could send it to you.
 


Can i send you a picture of it over text or something? i can’t explain it and it is really odd. the text is purple and i know it’s a tab
