Computer goes colorblind >.<

[Yuki]

Hi, My sister messed up the computer when I was at school. I don't know what she did, but she messed up the screen color. The computer looks like colorblind now It displays: Blue=Green, Orange=Pink, Black=Purple, DarkBlue=Black etc... I can't see the right colors. The current setting is True Color (32bit) with Screen Area of 1034 x 768. I am trying to fix the color code...There is a thing where I can change the color to deeper color or lighter color (dont know how you call it...) When I pushed that button, it display a little box with this menu: AutoTune, Color, Quality, Position, Language, Recall. I clicked on Color, it displays: 9300, 6500, User. If I recalled correctly, my original color setting was "User". Unfortunately, it was almost a year when I did the change. When I clicked on User, it displays the HEX, the RGB thing... I don't know what number I am supposed to put. The current color code is R=74, G=71, B=71............This is the closest color setting I can get to my old setting... Well, I even tried to put RGB= 0,0,0 Yet it showed up all black I can't get into the correct number, someone help please.
These are what I have done so far:
1) tried to use 9300 and 6500, but the color was either too dark or too light
2)System Restore, but couldn't restore back... (dunno why)
3) Tried to change the color bit to 16 with resolution of 800/600, and 75Hz, but it didn't work either

Thank you for reading! Any help is greatly appreciated!
P.S. Windows Me here...
The following are the screenshots I took, I am not sure how it will display when you see it, but it looked very bad in my computer.

Yes, the scheme of my computer is set to Slate (green theme). The color looks very bad at my computer tho...I see no purple, but a lot of dark colors... =/

Off topic question..sorry. Its just not a biggie and I don't feel the need to pursue it in a dedicated thread.

How in the heck is 2 or more images submitted in a reply post here. I have stumbled over this one for sometime...on occasion I will have 2 or 3 screen shots like above, and will need to make 2-3 separate posts/replies.

Tnx

You dont have to post separate posts/replies for 2+ images. Simple use the image code.
<img> img link here </img>
<img> 2nd img link here </img>
<img> 3rd one img link here </img>
You get to change the "<" and ">" to "[" and "]" tho I dunno how to disable the bb code
Thanks all for replying And sorry about answer back so late cuz I was busy

Thanks Yuki for the explanation... I messed up because I had in my mind the images were added in from your hard drive...not by way of a link to your website where they are actually at. I know a little html, and now realize what you did...
