Color printing on bootup screen

[overnewbie]

I need to know how you can change the colors on the bootup screen(the one when you first turn on the puter)and make the window a smaller size when the windows gui comes up. A friends monitor is not working right to her. It seems all the printing has been changed to another color. It is not white anymore. It has changed even if you go into the bios and that color has changed. This is on a Soyo 6ba+4 motherboard. It has been changed to a pinkish/purple color. Even the panel where windows 98 shows up is smaller and the screen seems darker. She thinks her daughter has done this but she days that she didn't. It is a Viewsonic E771 and the video card is a Voodoo 3 pci card. Hell I would like to know myself how this has happened, I get tired of the same ole cole.

I know in some bios there is an option, which you can use to change the color of the bios screen. But I don't know about the rest of the stuff you said.

If I'm not mistaking my Soyo +IV (slot 1 P2/P3) had this option.

Yes, thanks I seen that in the bios. I think the problem may be a little deeper, it seems she has added one of those all in one hp products and set the resolution to 256. This mnay have caused the monitor those problems, maybe. It has actually changed the resolutions after boot-up also causing similiar problems in windows period...made the whole screen smaller and increased the width of the blacklines to maybe 1 1/2 inches all around..not sure but maybe. Will see if I can find out which one of the all in ones she has..printer.scanner and fax machine. Checking the hp site, I see that they said you need a monitor with at least 256 resolutions, so she changed the monitor to 256 resolutions...lol...oh boy..after a month or so of that I am sure the monitor decided to freak out....lol...hope I can get some more answers or solutions here.
