color problem - VGA out using XP on Macbook Pro

Post by quicksnail »

When I do dual-screen mode in XP from my Macbook Pro I get a blue tinted image on my projector. Its as if one of the color channels is missing. It was working fine before with full color - but something seems to have happened.

When I boot into OSX the dual screen color is perfect.

Anyone have the same experience or ideas about whats happening and how to fix it?

maybe it was just the cable? if a pin is bent or missing, or the cable is not plugged in correctly you get something like this!

No its definitely not the cable - since I can boot into OSX and its fine everytime. When I boot back into XP it is blue.
