just recently, i unplugged everything on my computer + pc so i could put a new table in.

after plugging everything back in, i noticed that the colors on my computer screen are a bit weird. they come off as either blue, black, or bright yellow.

my computer colors settings are on high color (sixteen bit) and prior to the unplugging, the colors were working fine.

i was wondering if i plugged something in wrong or if there something wrong with my pc?

On the face of it, it sounds like a connection problem with your cables. You might take a look at the connections for bent pins and try reseating the connectors.

i checked it and there was a bent pin. . .and then i switched my monitor with another one that i had and the problem was kinda gone.

now i can see some colors. .. but its still not completely back to original. there are still some problems with the color display. . and i think it has something to do with my settings.

for some reason, i can't switch my settings back to high color (16 bit) and its set on 256 colors no matter how many times i change it. any way to fix this?

This part sounds like a problem with the display adapter drivers. Right click on My Computer, choose Properties, then Device Manager, expand Display adapter and try reinstallling the drivers. First write down what it says the adapter is and post it here if that doesn't work, so we can tell what is happening.
