Hi everyone,

I'm running Windows XP SP3 on a Dell Optiplex G270. I have a MAG Innovision monitor, and for a long time, I was getting occasional blackouts on the screen. It seemed random, and they would only last for a second or less, so I lived with it for a while.

Today, I decided I'd try to download the proper driver for the monitor to see if that fixed the issue. I don't think it fixed it, because the blackout has happened at least once, but it's been much less frequent at least.

However, I'm getting a strange new issue now. Many online photos are showing up with very odd colors, making people look green. It's not all online photos --- only some. And none of the photos on my hard drive seem to affected; they all look fine. It only seems to be happening when viewing them online.

In fact, it only seems to be happening when using Firefox. I just checked Internet Explorer (haven't used that in years), and the colors are fine there. But I'd rather not switch back if I don't have to, because it's moving much more slowly than Firefox (for some reason).

Anyway, anyone have any clue?

Thanks!
