I cannot find the setting to turn this weirdness off. Right now, I notice it's slowly leaving yellow and going more green. The smilies are all pink instead of bright yellow...

I'm running Windows 7, IE--it does affect the whole computer, not just the browser. It even affects the games.

Sure hope you know where to look to change this setting; calibrating the colors and changing themes does nothing to affect it.

Thanks!
Is this a laptop or a desktop?

If it's a desktop, check the connections at the back of the computer and see if the monitor cable is loose.

If that doesn't work, ensure the video card is set in place. This will mean turning off the computer, opening the case and carefully ensuring the card is fully seated. Check the back where the connection is and ensure that none of the pins are bent.

If you have a 2nd monitor, attach that and see if it results in the same behaviour.

If these suggestions don't work or it's a laptop, please take it to a Geek Squad location. It's possible that something happened to the card.
