Just karaoke or video as well??
 
just karaoke i think
 
check video - if video is a probelm too, then it points to a graphics card or cable issue.

If only karaoke then thats strange.
 
will do as i said tried different cables and monitors still sameif it was a card issue surely it would not just change words (cdg) to different colours?
 
is the background black though?? if so it might be changing everything but you can only see the colours.
 
nVidia graphics card? have you activated 3d gaming (as in using coloured glasses to create 3d effect?)
 
Thats what i was thinking Mark. If it is just Karaoke, then thats odd - but my guess is the whole video output is affected.
 
have you changed your output settings or refresh rate, ie: 60hertz 75 - 80... is 32 bit colour showing?

try running on windows media, see if the same problem occurs.
 
guys sorry busy in work away from home.ill check all you advice and get back soon again thank you guys
 
guys not just karaoke files,even text to vdj giving wrong colours on screen.
my other laptop ok on screen so screen is ok.
is graphics card gone
 
Certainly points to a graphics card issue.

I'd try uninstalling the driver then reinstalling. Before anything else.
 
afraird of that ill try that now cheers
 
yeh redid drivers and still same except now when vga connected monitor has normal blue screen.
but when i try play karaoke file or anything out from laptop colours all over place.
laptop screen perfect
 
You say you've tried different cables?

Tried a different external display?
 
yup pal did both and the same.
seems to be output to monitor from laptop {vdj}
 
You tried any of Pauls suggestions?

I forgot to add depending on the type of screen it is, normal settings should be on your output side set at 1024x768, if re adjusting to this mark and works ok you can then find out which setting is giving you the problem.

But been in a venue with a mixture of screen sizes and picture quality the setting of 1024x768 on your second display normally covers most bases, where as a higher setting will give you better quality it will go into 16.9 format (or letter box).
 
yup tried them all.
paul tried a few different settings,
mate thinks it could be an cpu problem
 
Do you have another machine to confirm it isn't cabling or the external display??
