No... This isn't something like the monitor. I'm in a computer repair shop. I know my monitors.. :) And, I understand what you are saying about the safe mode VGA during installation (although, if you are just "repairing" a windows installation it will sometimes use the higher resolution screen while installing). I have done a repair install of Windows, to be specific. After the install finishes it goes through the stages of configuring the network connection, asking about automatic updates, etc... At that point is when I noticed the strange colors and missing buttons, still. I'm still going to try a different video card or driver. I really wanted to know if anybody knew of other settings that the user may have set, other than "high contrast" in accessibility options, that may cause this.
