My monitor won't show red or orange colours - they are now green. (no i'm not colour blind!) It's just had Windows XP loaded so i'm not sure if it's something i could alter or if it's my monitor giving up?

Some monitors also have a setting to only show certain colours. Worth giving this a go.. reset the monitor to default settings using the controls on the front of it.**no links in sigatures please**0
