Re: need help with desktop

Joy, if your mum was using your computer she may have turned on high contrast 
which is found in control panel. My wife is constantly doing this and it messes 
up my desktop every time but it is a simple matter to fix.
1. Press start menu key.
2. Hit the s key until you hear settings submenu.
3. Right arrow and you will hear control panel--press enter.
4. The first choice here is accessibility options. Press the spacebar to select 
this item and press enter.
5. Now, hold down control key and hit the tab key 3 times until you hear 
display 
and press enter.
6. The first setting here is a checkbox to check for high contrast. If this box 
is checked---uncheck it and this should solve your problem.
Of course, there are other possibilities but I would try this solution as one 
of 
my first options as the jaws settings may have made the screen contrast 
difficult for your mum to read the on-screen text.

My mother was over here using my computer last night, so I have no idea what
has happened.
