    Windows 10 mouse & colour problems

    Hi Frank,

    Thank you for asking question in Microsoft Community. I will give my best to help you.

    From your issue description, I understand that
    Paint shop pro x3 will not open
    and having mouse issues.

    You may perform the methods suggested below and check if they help you fix the issue.

    Method 1: Right click on the application and select run as administrator and check if it opens.


    Method 2: Let’s perform clean boot and open the application to check if any third party application is causing the issue, as clean boot helps in eliminating software conflicts.
    Follow these steps to start the computer in clean boot.

    Follow these steps to start the computer in clean boot.

    Step 1:

    a) Press the ‘Windows + R’ key on the keyboard.

    b) In the ‘Run’ windows type
    ’MSCONFIG’
    and click ‘Ok’.

    c) Click the ‘Boot’ tab and uncheck
    ‘Safe Boot’ option.

    d) On the ‘General’ tab, click to select the option
    ‘Selective startup’, and then click to clear the option
    Load startup items
    check box.

    e) On the ‘Services’ tab, click to select the
    ‘Hide all Microsoft services’ check box, and then click
    ‘Disable all’
    .

    f) On the ‘StartUp’ tab, click ‘Open Task Manager’.
    In the Task Manager window under startup tab,
    right click on each startup item which are enabled and select ‘Disable’.

    g) Click ‘OK’, and then click Restart.

    Step 2: Enable half of the services

    a.
    Follow steps 1a and 1b to start the System Configuration utility.

    b. Click the Services tab, and then click to select the
    Hide all Microsoft services
    check box.

    c. Click to select half of the check boxes in the Service list.

    d. Click OK, and then click Restart.

    Step 3: Determine whether the problem returns

    If the problem still occurs, repeat step 1 and step 2. In step 2, click to clear half of the check boxes that you originally selected in the
    Servicelist.

    If the problem does not occur, repeat step 1 and step 2. In step 2, select only half of the remaining check boxes that are cleared in the
    Service list. Repeat these steps until you have selected all the check boxes.

    If only one service is selected in the Service list, and you still experience the problem, the selected service causes the problem. Go to step 6. If no service causes this problem, go to step 4.

    Step 4: Enable half of the Startup items

    If no startup item causes this problem, a Microsoft service most likely causes the problem. To determine which Microsoft service may be causing the problem, repeat step 1 and step 2 without selecting the
    Hide all Microsoft services check box in either step.

    Step 5: Determine whether the problem returns

    If the problem still occurs, repeat step 1 and step 4. In step 4, click to clear half of the check boxes that you originally selected in the
    Startup Item list.

    If the problem does not occur, repeat step 1 and step 4. In step 4, select only half of the remaining check boxes that are cleared in the
    Startup Item list. Repeat these steps until you have selected all the check boxes.

    If only one startup item is selected in the Startup Item list, and you still experience the problem, the startup item that is selected in the list is the service that is causing the problem. Go to step 6.

    If no startup item causes this problem, a Microsoft service most likely causes the problem. To determine which Microsoft service may be causing the problem, repeat step 1 and step 2 without selecting the
    Hide all Microsoft services check box in either step.

    Step 6: Resolve the problem

    After you determine the startup item or the service that causes the problem, contact the program manufacturer to determine whether the problem can be resolved. Or, run the System Configuration utility, and then click
    to clear the check box for the problem item.

    Step 7:

    Note: After you have finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to boot to normal startup.

    a) Press the ‘Windows + R’ key on the keyboard.

    b) In the ‘Run’ windows type
    ’MSCONFIG’
    and click ‘Ok’.

    c) On the ‘General’ tab, click the
    ‘Normal Startup’ option, and then click ‘OK’.

    d) When you are prompted to restart the computer, click
    ‘Restart’.

    For color problem, I suggest you to install latest display driver from the computer manufacturer website and check if it helps. If Windows 10 drivers are not available in the computer manufacturer website, you may
    install the latest display drivers in compatibility mode.

    To install the display driver
    in compatibility mode, I would suggest you to follow these steps.

    a. Download the latest display driver for Windows 10 from the manufacturer’s website and save it on your local disk.

    b. Right-click on the setup file of the driver and select “Properties”.

    c. Select “Compatibility” Tab.

    d. Place a check mark next to “Run this program in Compatibility mode” and
    select Windows 8 from the drop down list.

    e. Let the driver install and then check the functionality.

    Keep us posted if you face any issues on windows in future. We will be glad to help you.

  4. Display colour problem every booting

    Booting in black and white

    My Lenovo thinkcentre is booting up in black and white since it updated windows.

    I have tried:

    • changing the colour filter; there is a visual difference between colour filter on and off but it is still in greyscale.
    • updating display drivers
    • uninstalling and reinstalling display drivers
    • clean reboot
    The odd thing is that on restarting normally the problem persists, but when I unplug the computer while booted and then turn it on again it comes on in colour. If it is in colour and then goes to sleep mode, it will wake up in grey scale.

    Please help!
