I allowed someone to use my macbook (OS 10.4) and they wanted to use a wireless mouse rather than the mousepad. I let them put the mouse in, and a minute later they showed me that the screen had gone into flourescent tones. I unplugged the mouse (in retrospect I see that it's a microsoft mouse, <insert mac-superiority-complex here>) and I reset the computer to see if there would be a change.
When the computer turns on to my login page the screen appears as it should. However, when it goes to my desktop everything looks like it's been put into photoshop with contrast put on all the way up. I checked the settings and it's at millions of colors and the display size is normal. But everything looks flourescent. Programs still open, but nothing displays correctly once I log in. It looks like the microsofts do when they go into that mode when something's wrong (I can't remember what it's called).
I tried taking a screenshot of it on my mac, but when I loaded the photos over onto the computer I'm currently using they appeared normal. What can I do to fix it? I have graphic work I have to finish on my mac and I'm freaking out just a tad... Any imput would be greatly appreciated!
