Hi all,

I got a disk from ebay of c64 games for the pc and tried to install the emulator and it worked ok to play some games.

My screen has now got a blue tint to it and it Flickers and the colour looks to come back!

I have a sony flat screen...

Any ideas or more information needed please ask .

As it was a C64 emulator it almost certainly will have tried to change your screen settings to enable the games to run. Flat screens have a 'native' pixel size and don't like running at any other setting. Right click somewhere in a blank area of the screen and choose Properties, Settings. Make sure it is set to 1024 x 768 and 32 bit colour.
