Colors not rendering properly?

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Hello,

I created several images using a light, bright green color: R=153,
G=204, B=0. The color looked perfect at the time but recently it looks
gray with a slight tint of green. It appears as if I have lost the
original color.

The loss of color appears to be system-wide, showing up in Power
Point, Word, Photoshop, etc. I checked the drivers for my monitor and
graphics card but there does not seem to be a better choice. It is now
using the Microsoft default drivers for both. The color seems to be OK
in general and is only noticeable with specific RGB inspection.

The color was produced on this system and looked fine at the time.
This is an older system: Athlon 2500+ (1.8 gigs), Radeon 9600 (128
mb), 512 mb RAM, Sony 500PS monitor, XP Pro SP2.

Can anyone suggest what might be doing this and what I might try to
correct it?

Thanks,

Bob
