sounds like youve lost a colour feed. rgb (red/green/blue) needs to be
supplied to get normal colour. each is fed by a different pin, check the pins
on the end of the monitor cable.

Your system is giving you the signal that it is moving to Massachusetts!
You may have some pins bent on the male VGA connections.

Please check if there is any missing / bent pin in the signal cable.You
may also use the manual degaussing.

How "Pink" is it?
Some monitors have what they call a "Color Temperature" setting (3000 is
like red heat, 9000 is like blue/white hot etc).
If it's a bit "Pink" maybe you caught the settings button on moving? See
what the settings are and aim for highest numbers.
If it's a lot pink (more like Magenta usually) then either there's a bent
pin as suggested already or the green gun in the tube is not being fed.
Just had a Samsung apart today (Not sure which model) and there's virtually
nothing you can adjust inside except focus - I guess you'd call it throwaway
design.

Sorry Jayhawk, but when I read the subject line my first thought was,
"Because it's an iMac?"

FWIW, I've had two monitors do this over the last 20 years. In both
cases, it was the monitor and not the cables/pins. It's usually
cheaper to toss the monitor and replace it than to have it repaired.
BTW, what does the have to do with XP?
