I have a Dell Micron Millennia Dr737 running W98se.

I also have another exactly like it with a bad power supply.

Today I replaced the power supply and hooked my monitor and keyboard to it to check it out. Used a HD that I had cloned as a backup.

It was working fine. Just checked that it booted up and I had a desktop. So I shut down and rehooked my monitor and keyboard back up to the original computer.

After restart I do not have any "Red Color" on the original computer.

For instance, the fox in the Firefox Icon is a light brown(I belive as I am slightly color blind on light or dark colors). It was working fine before I hooked up to the other computer.

I don't know what has happened and can't seem to find an answer.

Any help or suggestions will be appreciated.

Different graphics drivers?
Check to see if you bent or pushed in a pin on the monitor cable from moving it back and forth.

TT_75 everything is identical on both computers.

Sethook you are right. It was a bad pin on the monitor cable. It was not bent, but it looks like it had broke off about halfway down. I could not pull it out and I could not see any part left in the socket of either computer, but I did round off the end where it was flat and it must be "just long enough" as it works now. I now have "red" back.

Thanks to both of you.
