Your hardware specs would be very handy also. |

I knew it.....I just knew it! lol I had the very same thing happen to me with the ATI X1950 pro card.
Believe it or not, the only way I could get around the greenish tint crap was to install the Catalyst driver on the driver disc that came with the PowerColor card itself. Ultimately, I dumped the ATI card in favor of Nvidia so I could shake the OpenGL shenanagans I was having with my 3D apps and Catalyst. Try uninstall the ATI driver in safemode and reboot and let the new hardware found come up on reboot, then use your use the supplied disk driver for the driver install, see what happens. It worked every time for me with that card...let me know what happens for you.... VQ |

thanks for the advice, i wish i could try it but for some reason the disk that came with the CD doesnt have a vista installation option on it, even though it says on the box "Windows Vista Ready", and so the only way i can get the driver is by downloading it off the net... any suggestions?

Are you running 32 or 64-bit?
This is the driver on my disk catalyst_8-31-100-3-2_vista32-64_rtm I found this site via google http://driverzone.com/device.php?id=68357 This is 64-bit but I also saw the 32 bit for this version there also. |

Hurrah! found out the problem. Turns out its nothing to do with the drivers or the hardware components... the connector that connects the monitor to the graphics card must be faulty, im using one ive borrowed from someone else atm and its working fine, no longer in a horrible greeny/yellow/brown tint lol. Thanks for all the help guys. Now i just need to find a place that sells these connectors
