This might not be hardware at all.  If the person is running Windows 2000,
and using the Liveware 2.0 drivers with a Soundblaster Live, there is a
driver issue which causes the background to be pink (at least with TNT2
cards).  It also shifts the rest of the color pallet around a bit.  A
restart usually fixes it, but it returns up on random restarts.

Subject: [PCBUILD] Monitor Colour Gone Deep Pink


Hi Listers:

I got this message from a friend and hope someone will be able to guide me
into what to tell her.

"The colour on our moniter has gone a deep pink hue and the background keeps
changing.  What should we do? "

Thanks for any and all suggestions.
