Click Window Color and Appearance.

Under Window Color and Appearance, click the color you want, and then click OK.


Note

If you see the Appearance Settings dialog box instead of the Window Color and Appearance


window, the theme might not be set to Windows Vista, the color scheme might not be set to Windows Aero, or the computer might not meet the minimum hardware requirements for running Windows Aero. For more information, see Troubleshoot problems with Windows Aero.

SOURCE: I have Dell Inspiron 2200 laptop. My laptop's

The lines indicate a slow failure of the LCD and it is progressive. The system can be connected to a VGA monitor and you can select the External display using Fn + F8 key combination.
LCDs are about $100 on EBay

SOURCE: Suddenly died. PSU ok - will not boot up

Most likely, since there is no power or boot indication at all, it may be a motherboard failure.

SOURCE: how do i get rid of several vertical lines down

There is only one way to get rid of vertical lines on your desktop, that is to reseat the video card if the card is separate with the motherboard. Otherwise, you need to call a technician to check your laptop for repair. To check if the video card is separate, turn off the laptop, remove the cables and battery, press and hold power button for 8 secs, remove the screws inside your pc, remove the hard drive, remove the optical drive, remove the fans & heat sink, remove the power supply. Then check if the video card is embedded on the motherboard or not.

This could mean two things: a problem with the cmos battery or the motherboard itself. Try to remove the cmos battery first and install. If not,then replace the cmos battery.

Screen is blank when powered up and i cant see anything on the screen

Hello.

Connect an external monitor / display to your laptop to see if your laptop's display is faulty.

If faulty, it is the display's backlight or inverter board.

If you were experiencing discoloration in the screen (pinkish lower light hues) before it failed, that would indicate a CCFL backlight issue. If the screen suddenly went dim rather than a slow degradation, the inverter would be indicated.

In either case, a technician in your area should be able to help. Evaluate to see if the repair is cost-effective.

Hope this helps.

Why is there a red straight line on my screen? What is the cause of and how can i get rid of it?

Try connecting an external monitor to the laptop.If the monitor display is fine, then your laptop's LCD display panel isdefective. If the monitor has a red line, then your problem is with either thevideo card or motherboard located inside your laptop.

Horizontal and vertical lines on ACER laptop

Hi there some how your laptop screen pressed & the screen is damaged. Just the option is replacing the screen. Another reason is over heating of screen by manufacturing default. Your laptop still under warranty so i suggest you visit the Acer service center & claim the damaged things if your screen does not have any over pressed symptom then. I hope you understand me. Thanks & waiting for your feedback.

Dell Inspiron 1501 Laptop-6'' Red Vertical Line

The color red and especially red colored lines or a pinkish hue are indicative of an impending screen failure. The only other possibility is that the data cable on the left backside of the lcd panel may be loose at the socket or on the motherboard. 9 times out of 10 though, it is the lcd panel that it failing.

Vertical red line in display

I had a similar problem with a flat screen lcd for my desktop comp, and it turned out that I needed a new screen if i wanted to get rid of it, but it doesnt really cause much of a problem, so i didnt bother replacing it. If your laptop is still under warranty, (i dont know how long your warranty lasts) I'd look into getting it replaced if it really bothers you. But yes, its definitly the screen.
