I couldn't reproduce the effect at the hubble site without viewing these other sites at the same time.

Strange thing is that when I view these websites the thumbnails are all normal, but as I scroll down, the colors become all out of wack.

I then go to the desktop and rightclick and then click properties and then settings and I get this message.

My color depth has been set to 4bits and I now realize why the colors are off, but I don't know why this happens in Opera. I haven't done a clean install of it lately and I may do that.

After I close the tab of the website with the messed up colors and then go back to the display settings, everything is back to normal and the screen depth is set back to 16bit.

Now for the strange. If I go the the website in Opera and get it to reproduce the funky colors and then check the display settings and confirm the color depth is a 4bits.

I then go to that same website in firefox while opera is open, the colors are all normal, yet the display properties still show I am at a 4bit color depth with a screen resolution of
-1 X -1 and I still get the above error message.

Whoa..That was a lot and I hope you can follow it.

Thanks for any help you can give.
