This is a good one.

At work I have a workstation that is using two monitors. One is connected via the VGA D-Sub and the other is connect via a DVI adapter to VGA D-Sub. No matter what I plug into the DVI/VGA adapter combo there is no Red data getting to the monitor.

I've tried replacing the adapter, and no dice same problem.

I've tried replacing the video card. Originally there was a VisionTek GeForce4 Ti4600 in there, I replaced that with another VisionTek GeForce4 Ti4600. Same thing. Then I replaced that with an ATi Radeon 9700 Pro. Again, the same thing happens. WTF? Could something on the motherboard (Asus P4T-E Deluxe i850 chipset) be causing this? A BIOS setting of some kind, maybe?!

Please give me any ideas you might have.

This is some of the craziest shit I've ever seen.

Are you saying the color red isnt showing up on the monitor? Try a different monitor, you might have a bad monitor.
 
I have two monitors, and I've swapped them on the ports. Whatever monitor is attached to the DVI to VGA adapter will not have any red in its display.
 
so with different montors, and diferent graphics cards. that monitor STILL gets no red....hmmmm interesting. possibly a driver problem, check the driver settings.
 
Nope definitely NOT a driver problem. It happens with both the nVidia cards and ATi cards with completely different driver sets. Additionally, the Radeon 9700 Pro clones the output to both monitors. When it does this the BIOS screens and Windows loading screens all have that blue tint to them.

This is just crazy I enough I'll grab a digital camera in office and post pictures.

If you're at work and the two monitors are the same, the type of monitor you're using might not work well with the DVI to VGA adapter (which causes the red to be missing).

See if you can find a different brand monitor (or maybe a different brand DVI to VGA adapter, or even a different type of cable).

I'm just assuming your office uses all the same equipment, just has two of each at every workstation.
