-=PCTechTalk=- Re: Computer Problems With Weird Video Colors, PPS, Winrar

Sue,
    I copied the original at the bottom of this reply so everyone can see 
the original description of the problems.

    Before delving into the individual situations you're facing, I need to 
know a couple of things.  Mainly, was it a complete crash that forced you to 
reinstall Windows?  If so, did these problems show up as soon as you 
reinstalled their respective programs (PPViewer, WinRAR, etc.)?

Peace,
GMan
