started it up, any ideas? I basically started up my computer. Instead of the usual black screen with the windows loading sign, there was just a red screen. It then went to the sign in screen, where I was able to sign in without trouble. However, the desktop background has red all of over it. I loaded up my browser and it still had red. It's also affecting the colour of the text and it's affecting the bottom bar - I have windows Vista, can anyone tell me what it is? I know that I'm most likely going to have to go and get this computer fixed, but does anyone know how this happened? I wanna make sure I can't do this again later on. I also leave my laptop on hibernate, sometimes for long periods of time - in case that has something to do with it.
