After Sleep Mode, Black and White Windows...?

Jun 24, 2010 5:29AM PDT

Hi, unusual problem here, I put my laptop in sleep mode, came back to the house 4 hours later, when I came back my windows was in black and white.
I created a new user just to see if it was my screen, and in my new user there is color, so when I go back to my primary user, I get the color for maybe 5 seconds then it goes black and white.
Seems like an option was activated while i was gone or something, I cant seem to bring the color back...im going nuts
I have windows XP ultimate and a ASUS P7450@2.13GHz laptop

Something's not right here. Microsoft never issued "XP Ultimate." There's that pirate version but just try to get support for that.
