Why does my monitor show black and white on startup?

Monitor Starts B/W, then Reverts to Color

If your monitor is black-and-white when the system comes up, then suddenly reverts to its normal color mode, your Finder Preferences are probably corrupt. Go to your System Folder, find the Preferences Folder, and drag "Finder Preferences" to the trash. Reboot your machine and it should be OK!
