text: why is my yahoo! video all distored and the colors are inverted? skin looks blue, hair looks turquoise, anything that should be purple is green. that sounds suspiciously like either: - the monitor lead is not firmly attached, or - the display settings are incorrect - too few colours...  to change/check the display settings, right click anywhere in the desktop, select properties, click the settings tab. colours is down on the left.  true color (32-bit) is the best.  depending on the graphics card, you might need to reduce the pixel setting on the right.  hope one of these sorts it!
