Was worth a shot.  Hope you can manage to have a good holiday with
everything you've got going on.  One other thought, when I have had
problems that could not be fixed with a restore or other obvious fixes, the
tech people were able to reset my xp id.  I don't know how to do that, but
someone may be able to help there.  They wiped out (renamed) my id, then
gave me a new one, and everything seemed to go ok after that.

If anything else comes to mind, will forward.
Merry Christmas.

Have you tried a system restore back to a previous date you know was good?
XP restores are pretty good and have helped me in certain cases.  Start
menu/help and support, click the 'system restore' link.

OK this is what I have done so far;

Right Click, on desktop and went to properties, I have reset Themes to Win
XP, Desktop to (none), ScreenSaver (none),  Appearance to Windows Classic
Style, and Settings to 800 x 600, and 16 bit as it was 32 bit.  We did not
have any Themes downloaded or used, all he did was change the color and
desktop to a windows a Windows XP picture on the computer.  I have checked
MY COMPUTER, display properties they still appear the same after changed.
I
have checked Accessibilty settings and  under display I have unchecked High

Contrast and then rechecked it with no changes. It appears this way with
all
programs and internet sites, it was not this way a week ago when he was
playing on it.  He is not a young kid but a 17 year old, and he swears he
only changed the desktop properties so that the adobe house XP picture came

up and changed the display properties to Teal settings.  I have unplugged
and reattached all the monitor and other plugs, oh and I also put another
monitor from another computer on it, it did the plug and play and located
the driver for it and still gave me the same thing.  I am not a genious
with
these things but I have been using one for along time at work and internet
at home and this is the first I have had this problem.  My sons vo-tech
teacher is stumped also.  Is this possibly a video card issue?  The
computer
is about 11 months old, but I see all the other colors when people email me

pictures and all, it is just going to web sites and on word background that

is the problem.  OH, I cant set background colors in EXCEL either or
powerpoint, but I can set font colors in each of them.  I have not loaded
or
downloaded any new programs in the past few months, and I have a firewall
program along with Ad-aware / Spybot / Norton 2004, I have MS Office
professional pkg, and my Kodak digital camera programs.  What else can I
tell you...

Jeanne,

If you are getting this in more than one application it could be
monitor settings. Are the desktop icons the same size as they were
before this started and are they in the same place?

To alter the monitor settings... get the desktop showing and right
click somewhere.. *not* on an icon or the status bar or anything but
on the desktop itself. You can then go through the settings and "play"
with them. I suggest you first check the monitor resolution and number
of colours settings on the far right tab. Alter them and see what
happens. You probably want the highest colour and resolution settings.

It could also be that a "theme" has been set so click through the tabs
and unset it... and you can set the colours for windows and so on too.

Let us all know what happens please.

HTH
Lisa
