ok - well I went in to my properties - rt click on my desktop - and changed my colors back. Very interesting -It still looks a little 'off' - but it's closer to how it was. *sigh Cris ----- Original Message ----- From: Cris To: pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, May 26, 2005 6:12 PM Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Re: virtual memory too low I tried to change it - and it didn't change the virtual memory numbers - but it changed the look of my colors - my e-mails etc. Really odd, as I wasn't in that area. gremlins, I suppose. so now, I wonder how I get back my old colors. Everything is gray now - and there are some other changes also. very odd.

Sounds like I had theh problem you did, but I am not 100 percent positive. You can try it if you want and see. christy -- <Please delete this line and everything below.> To unsub or change your email settings: //www.freelists.org/webpage/pctechtalk To access our Archives: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PCTechTalk/messages/ //www.freelists.org/archives/pctechtalk/
