My computer and my girlfriend's computer share one monitor, keyboard, printer, and mouse, and we usually just switch around the plugs in the back in order to switch what computer is on. Well, recently we moved and both of our screens turned "yellow" when we turned our computers back on. At first I thought the monitor was broken- but then I tried changing the monitor's colors and I tried going into the control panel/display/settings/advanced/GeForce2 GTS section to adjust the level of red, green, and blue that was going into my picture. And voila! when I adjust the level of blue, nothing happens! I would still think my monitor's "blue" had just gotten broken- but the other day I hooked up a new power cord to my computer, and the screen suddenly looked fine!!! The other one still looked yellow. Then (this is the really weird part) I hooked up my LaserJet 4L printer to my computer, while it was running- and the second I put the plug into the computer, it turned yellow again! So my monitor is not actually broken. Any ideas?

Well I don't know what a ricecar is, but I tried looking to see if I had a bad connection in the first place- and I didn't see one. HOWEVER, once I read the responses to this post I started fooling around with the cord coming from my monitor to my video card and found if I twisted a certain part of the cord in just the right way I could restore my computer back to normal status. But it won't stay like that unless I'm sitting there twisting very hard- is there some way to replace that cord? The panel on the monitor that's over that cord doesn't seem to come off without a fight, and I don't want to break it only to find out that it's not replacable =)
Thanks again!
Thanks again!
