PC screen color HELP!

Sb: PC screen color HELP!

I am having trouble with the colors on my PC screen with my bridgeboard. The PCColor software refuses to remember the color settings I give it. I have figured out this much. When I change my color preferences, and save the settings, it writes the settings to sys:pc/system/sidecarsettings.table. I can see by checking the date on the file that it is getting saved. However, some PC software packages reset the colors (DOSSHELL for example). When the colors reset, the PCColor software ignores the values I saved, and returns to the original, 'factory set' colors. Also, when I first start PCColor, it ignores my saved settings, and gives me the 'factory' colors. Nothing I do will bring my colors back. Also, when I am trying to set the color preferences, sometimes the color requestor behaves eradically. If I set one color, then set another one, sometimes when I go back to the first one the gadgets will have moved. Can anyone shed some light on this for me? – E Cottle
