Your convergence has failed and needs to be repaired. Once quick test is to goto your convergence menu and see if you can adjust red and blue. If not its has failed and needs to be fixed. You can call in a repair shop or you can get the parts and instructions from www.TvRepairKits.com and do the repair yourself. Its a fairly easy DIY fix.
Here is an example photo....

Thanks for the info but I had to go into the back of the set and adjust the color until it was set correcly after that was done there was no need to set the convergence it works perfectly.

*CONVERGENCE SERVICE MODE PROCEDURES*

*Note: This procedure is required for all of the following geometry and
convergence adjustments.*

*Using the remote transmitter, enter the following seven-button sequence to
activate the convergence mode.*

* 06 - 25 - 97 - Menu (M)*

*The "Opening Menu" will appear offering choices:*

* *

* *

*Channel 3*

*Use Channel up/down to*

*Select a Channel with Video*

* *

* Remote control key functions:*

* Use arrow up/down and left/right: Adjust Convergence*

* M: Advance "cross" location*

* Up, Down, Left, Right*

* 3: Exit Convergence*

* Status: Abort/Cancel Changes*

* M: Begin Convergence*

* *

* *

*Note: video information must be present to correctly adjust the
convergence. A signal source is required to lock the vertical and
horizontal sync. After entering the "convergence service mode" verify the
presence of a video source by confirming the presence of active audio (use
the volume up function on the remote). Use the channel up and down function
on the remote to select the desired tuning source.*

* *

* *

*Select item "M" from the first menu, the "Convergence Menu" will appear
featuring 5 possible selections.*

* *

* Channel 3*

* Convergence:*

* *

*1. green geometry*

*2. red To green Convergence*

*3. blue To green Convergence*

*4. green To red Convergence*

*5. green To blue Convergence*

* Status: Abort/Cancel Changes*

* *

* *

*CONVERGENCE TOUCH UP PROCEDURE*

* *

*1. Enter the "convergence service mode" as described above in the
"convergence service mode procedure".*

*2. Select the desired color requiring adjustment. Note: Do not
select Green Geometry (1). This procedure is described under "Major
Convergence/Geometry Alignment. If Green Geometry is altered during this
procedure a "Major Convergence/Geometry Alignment" maybe required. *

*3. Cover the Output Lens of the single color presently NOT being
adjusted. Example: If you select Green to Red Convergence (4) cover the Blue
Output Lens.*

*4. The highlighted adjustment Icon (Cross) should be illuminated on
the middle left side of the screen. Make the necessary Convergence
Adjustments using the following Remote Keys:*

* *

*· Use the Arrow Up ( ) to adjust the selected color up.*

* *

*· Use the Arrow Down Key ( ) to adjust the selected color down.*

* *

*· Use the Arrow Right Key (-) to adjust the selected color to the
right.*

* *

*· Use the Arrow Left Key (+) to adjust the selected color to the
left.*

* *

*5. Move to the next location to be converged. It is not required
that the full Convergence Sequence be followed while performing the
"Convergence Touch Up Alignment Procedure". The following alternate Remote
Keys allow for positioning of the Icon to the desired adjustment location:*

* *

*· Key 2 on the Remote Transmitter will position the Adjustment
Icon upward on the screen.*

* *

*· Key 8 on the Remote Transmitter will position the Adjustment
Icon downward on the screen. *

* *

*· Key 4 on the Remote Transmitter will move the Adjustment Icon
to the Left.*

* *

*· Key 6 on the Remote Transmitter will move the Adjustment Icon
to the Right.*

* *

*6. Return to the "Convergence Service Menu" by selecting Key number
3 on the remote transmitter or by sequencing the Icon to the last adjustment
point at the lower right corner of the screen and pushing the Menu (M) Key
on the Remote Transmitter..*

* *

*7. Repeat steps 1 through 6 for other required Convergence
Alignments.*

*8. To Save the Adjustment completed in the last procedure,
Exit/Save the Convergence Service Mode by selecting Key 1 on the Remote
Transmitter. This forces the corrections to be written to the EEPROM on the
Convergence Module.*

* *

* *

* *

*Note: To save the convergence corrections made above you must exit the
convergence menu by selecting Exit/Save Data (1)*
