Problems with new computer

I built a new computer for
MSFS and
photo editing, but the graphics don't look as good as those in screenshots on the interwebs. Also, my
planephotos appear to have a greenish tint and I fear they would be rejected for "
bad color"
over there.
Below is a picture of what I see. Any ideas?

Yes, I have an idea: You are at Meigs field. And your computer stopped working many years before Meigs field stopped working.

I do not...
...as to the
topic of the thread, I think this is a near-perfect example of why we need more
regulations for back up reservation computer systems!

This is the rarest of the rare: a machine running a Microsoft OS that cannot possibly have a BSOD!

Nonsense! I took a
Pan Am flight to Meigs last week.

I pulled every circuit breaker at hand, as usual.
That...
...is AWESOME!!!!!
I know, it took me many years of savings to be able to buy such an advanced computer
.

CONCUR.

Oh, it totally can! But you can't see it
.
(Spoiler: the computer is actually based on an AMD Athlon and is half as old as the monitor. I don't own an IBM XT .)

That version of msfs is a trifle newer than the hardware...
(also, is there some reason this forum is using the default phpbb theme?)

Only than the monitor (made in 1984); the rest of the computer -except the video card, made in 1991- is from 2000 or 2001 because of
lazyness (didn't want to mess with floppy disks at the moment). That same lazyness is the reason for using
MSFS 3 (1 and 2 are
booters).
(also, is there some reason this forum is using the default phpbb theme?)
Maybe it looks better on monochrome displays
.
