Re: M2007 Video Conflict

I fixed the problem. I went into Money, Help, About, System Restore and
picked a date prior to the problem. I then reinstalled Money 2007 and the
problem was resolved. I think what might have happened was that I had Money
open when I upgraded Messenger.

Thanks to those who responded and offered suggestions.

Hmmm. I've never heard of Money changing the color depth. Interesting.

I don't think this is a Money issue, per se. NetMeeting and many of its
descendants (Windows Messenger, et al.) can play very badly with the bits
per pixel setting for the entire system when video sharing is involved. Go
do some googling about that. Search on something like Messenger Bits Per
Pixel. You'll probably find lots of hits. Good Luck. I used to spend hours
getting my Win2k system at work back to 32-bit depth for everything after
every time I did application sharing from NetMeeting.

I started Money a couple of more times. Each time it starts the screen goes
black for a couple of seconds as I previously described. But I have noticed
that the color quality has been reset to 8bit. Each time I have reset the
color to first 16bit and then 32 bit and Money appeared normally. Whan I
closed Money and restarted it the color was again reset to 8bit. I hope this
helps. Any suggestions?
Thanks

The only other thing I did today was had a video conference using Windows
Messenger. When I attempted to answer the conference a message popped up
telling me to load a new version of messenger. I have uninstalled that
program but no difference.
Thanks

Running 64-bit Vista?

IE7? You could try turning off ClearType.

Are you using a beta video driver?
