Hello there,

I've been having a problem with my installations of Mac OS10.2 and 10.3 on my 1GHz G4 (with 64MB GeForce4 MX). I was getting a consistent problem with 10.2 where a lot of my application icons would end up looking a little green. A number of my photos in iPhoto (2 and 4) would end up looking green in the preview window, though it would clear up if I tried to edit it. After a bit of trial and error, I ended up trashing the calibrated monitor profile I set up and that seemd to work.

I also thought that upgrading to 10.3 would rid me of this problem forever, but sadly it's gotten a little worse. Not only are a couple of icons distinctly greenish, but now I'm getting a lot of images in Safari coming up very purplish and green.

Can anybody help?

Does this problem happen with another "User" logged in on your machine? If you don't have another user, can you create one and give that a test?

Interestingly, no it doesn't. Any idea what this might mean and how I could fix it?

Thanks for your help.

Well, something is probably corrupted in:

~/Library/Preferences

...however, I'm not sure which "something" preference that would be exactly.

Sorry!

sounds like the preferences (as the ever vigilant gorickey indicated).

I would start trashing anything monitor preference related and then calibrate.
