compaq 3850 weirdness

Today when I went flying, my Ipaq had a wonderfully blueish white
screen...................to my horror, when I landed it had somehow
turned to a reddish-pink screen.

Can't seem to find any menu items that might help me restore to the
"default" background color and the manual does not seem to cover that
subject either.

I guess I can live with the color, but am stumped as to what happened,
and can I change it back to blue!!

TIA,
Brad

Brad,

Have you tried a soft reset?

If all ese fails, I would try the following and then reload the
required software if a hard reset was needed.

Brad, please, no reinstalling programs. Just-
tap Start
tap Settings
tap Today
tap Default (I think you will find that 'Fire' has been selected.)

then go back to the beginning,
tap Start
tap iPAQ Backup
under file find your storage card
tap Backup
tap Start

That did it!

Was able to find and do the back up after getting home last night.

Thanks!,
Brad
