Can anyone suggest a reason why a specific Dell Inspiron 9300 laptop should
be unable to display any of the text or background colours on an utterly
basic test form with only a couple of text boxes and no VBA code on an
otherwise empty test database?
The problem also happens with an application of mine using Access 2003
runtime - but only on this PC. It runs fine on several other PCs.
I have applied every available Windows XP Home update and every available
Office 2000 update to no effect. The laptop (set to 32-bit colour) can
display digital colour photographs without any problem and no other
application appears to be having the missing colour issues I am having with
Access. I connected the laptop to an external monitor but this made no
difference.
I have applied the latest ATI Mobility Radeon X300 video driver update from
the Dell website. I also tried to apply an ATI BIOS update but hit a
'Resources files missing' error message. I doubt if this is relevant to my
problem, but have raised it on the Dell video forum.
I'm at a total loss on this issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
