    well my monitor seems to be displaying odd colors. like before i reformatted my comp #f1f1f1 or #efefef or something like that used to be a light gray but now when i choose those colors it looks like olive green. and when i open images or screenshots of stuff it displays this box and its the same with illustrator. before i reformatted my comp. none of this used to happen. how can i fix this?

    hm.. for the colors i don't know, but i'm getting the same error message some times. I used to just drag and drop pics from the internet directly into photoshop, on some pics i got that message (for example at most pics on boyis.com) as well. On boyis this can be fixed by rightclicking image/ copy image and then go to Photoshop open new document (the size should be given already) and go to edit / paste. Dunno if this was any help to you, just wanted to let you know you are not the only one having that message displayed^^

    also, if its outside of photoshop, you might need to change settings on your monitor, (the buttons on the front


    i get the same message as you got



    also if you have a crt, they dont usualy have as many colors to display as a lcd monitor does...
