Same thing on mine Dusty, grayer.

Definitely green on mine, you needed to let the program run an automatic color set.

What 'program'? How does it 'see' the screen?

I have to ask. How did you break the tie bar during installation?

Your monitor set up disc or program for your monitor that you can down liad, has a color set up program that can calibrate your color, so you see colors more ccurate, other than that there is a piece of hardware "Spider" that hooks up usually by USB and it sets your color settings, you don't need yhay, it is expensive, let your monitor calibrate it.

Did something stupid, it hung up so I gave it a couple of wacks with a rubber mallet....SNAP!
The guy I bought it from said he has broken 2 trying to get them off.

OK, I see. I was putting a 10ER speed changer together the other day and got the movable arm cocked on the main casting. I had one heck of a time getting it apart. Fortunately I didn't break anything.
