An answer to your question can be found at the end of this post. In a tiny font. But before reading it, please do the following:
- read the stickied troubleshooting FAQ on this board, especially the "Your fs2_open.log" part
- deliver us your fs2_open.log
- provide some system specs.

Delete \freespace2\ . The entire \freespace2\ .

[torc]

ok...just let me re-install the launcher and i'll try again... thanks and excuse me

EDIT: ok i got the text: hope i have understand correctly     remember that i haven't installed mediavps yet (after the reinstall obviously):

AUGH! code tags, STAT!

So, what's the problem again? Can you define please how "cause the in-game backgrounds planets and the colors (golden) of the ships was completely wrong"?? Wrong in what way, as in doesn't look like all the screenshots or what not?

Screenshots of graphical oddities would be nice. And use [ code ] and [/ code ] (minus the extra spaces) for when putting in logs into a post.

[torc]

hi zacam: as you can see i am italian...so forgive my english... i try to explain at the best of my capabilities 
the problem ''again'' (?) is the following: i have tried to completely uninstall freespace2 and clean all the computer by all the mediavps and builds: after doing that i have re-installed FS2 and even if i have cancelled from my pc ALL the other files like launcher,builds etc, the old simple FS2 show me the same issue: the space in the game is always black with red nebulas and the ships seems like they are lighted from a yellow light and everithing 3d objects seems like gold coloured...i don't know why... however i'll attack some screenshot for let you see what i mean... hope you understand now... just one question: how to make screenshots? (i don't remember the command) 

[Jeff Vader]

''again'' (?)

Just an English expression.

just one question: how to make screenshots?

I'm not entirely sure if this works in retail FS2. If not, use method #2.
Method #1
- while playing and while the problem is clearly visible, press the "Print screen" or "Prt Sc" button on your keyboard. You may do this several times, as the game saves the screenshots in tga format to \freespace2\screenshots\
- quit the game
- open the screenshots with a proper image editor like Paint.NET or GIMP and save them as .png files
- attach the .png images to your post (or host them at Imageshack or equivalent).

Method #2
- while playing and while the problem is clearly visible, press the "Print screen" or "Prt Sc" button on your keyboard. The screenshot is saved on your clipboard now.
- quit the game
- open a proper image editor like Paint.NET or GIMP. Paste the image from the clipboard to the image editor and save it as a .png image
- repeat the previous steps if you feel like it would be beneficial
- attach the .png image(s) to your post (or host them at Imageshack or equivalent).

remember i have only re installed launcher, fso 3.6.10 and FS2: no mediavps

[Jeff Vader]

I can't see anything wrong in those pictures. Except for that blurb at the bottom of the screenshots. And perhaps there's something strange about the nebulas in screen0003i.

[torc]

ehm...the nebula should be green and the ship is green

[Jeff Vader]

The nebulas should be red/purplish (which they are) and the ship looks grey like it should.

[torc]

listen man...there was the first or second training mission of the game and the nebula should be green/blue as alwais has been...and if you see the ship (like all the others) is gray/green...however thrust me when i say that this thing isn't normal 

[Jeff Vader]

You listen too. Perhaps I just can't see something you can, but there is nothing abnormally green in the ship.

And as far as the nebulas, perhaps you've "always" played with the 3.6.10 MediaVPs. They include Lightspeed's nebulae as well as edited mission files that use those nebulas properly. The retail nebulas look like that and I can assure you: they should be red/purplish in at least the first training mission.

[torc]

ok lord vader... forgive me  really... i have reinstalled now mediavps and seems like all works fine... the only thing i have used a nightly build 'cause in 3.6.10 the issue continiue with mediavps installed too... thanks anyway for the help my friend...
