I recently installed Photoshop 7 and every time I go into it the colors are all messed up. If I try hitting the default colors the foreground will be black and the background will be purple. I can only choose colors that are in the shades of purple and black. Before this happened something came up on the screen saying that my monitor profile didnt match with photoshop or somethin and I hit use anyway. Now my Photoshop is totally messed up! PLEASE HELP!!! I tried reinstalling and everything. Nothing worked...

You are toast. You have to completely re-format your hard drive and take photoshop back to the store.

I'M KIDDING

It's easy. You need to recreate a monitor profile.

zmaan is it a custom color book? if so it's probably toast. (seriously this time). if it's the default, it's still probably toast, but you should be able to get it back by reinstalling photoshop.
