This is in response to the orbizone turning things purple problem.... I never had any trouble with orbizone, but give this a try, and if it doesn't work, then supply more information telling exactly what appears purple (text mode, graphics mode, etc.). First try the self test: Option-OpenApple-Control-Reset This should check out ok, then reset your system to factory settings: Option-Control-Reset Then choose reset system w 60 Hz. (Option 1 I think) If that doesn't cure your problem, then like I said, give some more information. Platkus platkus@ecn.purdue.edu

The cable had been bumped, but only enough to cause the purple color. Nice easy fix... Neil - ---------------------------- Baltimore Orioles! ---------------------------- Neil M. Runyon | "The Few.

When you say all your white is replaced by purple, I hope you are talking about the text screen only? Like if you are running AppleWorks or ProTerm? If that is the case, then it's a trivial matter resetting your colours back in the Control Panel (OA-Control-Esc). But it seems you've tried that route already. We can probably rule out a dead battery, because text would come up white on power-up, and not purple. Now, if white pixels in all desktop applications appear purple, then I'm REALLY confused. I don't think that is possible. That means none of your green phosphors are lighting up. You CAN still see the colour green in some of your programs, I trust??? Brian T.
