I agree, a screenshot would help. Some comments from my side. From your discussion, It sounds like it may be a mapserver problem, so perhaps check the following:
1. You say you have tested the maserver WMS. How are you doing this? I would consider installing udig and testing if you can access from there. From what I recall Udig will only accept a properly configured map file. Quantum GIS is a little more forgiving, but also useful to test your WMS from Mapserver.
2. How are you accessing your WMS. Are you using <i>OpenLayers.Layer.MapServer</i> or <i>OpenLayers.Layer.WMS</i>? or are you going through tilecache?
3. Perhaps try: <i>OpenLayers.Layer.MapServer.Untiled</i> and see if that makes a difference
4. Are you testing a production server or a development machine. It may just be a resource issue.

I am not sure if these have any part of what is going on with the big pink tile, but I have found some new information and I am trying to provide as much as I can until maybe someone has an idea.
I am getting some blurred lines from my wms layers at the bottom of the map. Also, I have found that I use the group name for all of these themes and add the group as 1 single layer, then everything displays correctly.
I have upgraded my ms4w to 226 instead of the beta; I have added the temprorary fix from the "Possible Pink Tile Fix" chain; I have played around with all of the settings for a layer, but I have yet to fix the pink tile nor the blurred lines.
I am open to any suggestions that any one has.
Thanks,
Lee

Well it turns out that I can not even use this as a smoke-and-mirrors work around because i have some layers that won't display at all. Not even in ff. When I use the URL from firebug, I am still getting the "The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete set of HTTP headers." error. I currently have OpenLayers.IMAGE_RELOAD_ATTEMPTS = 5. I have set it to as high as 20. Any ideas. I am really behind the 8 ball here.

you are right that its not a solution, but it is enough for me to tell them I have something there, and I can work on the actual solution. Thanks for the tip!!!

This is definately not a solution to the reason why the tiles are coming up
pink...but the following code makes it look less "error-like"
OpenLayers.Util.onImageLoadErrorColor = "transparent";
