Colors & Text

[Tony L]

Ever since loading Windows XP Home, no background colors or
fill colors in Internet Explorer or any Office XP product
show on screen. I can see fill colors and background colors
when I got to Print Preview or print documents, but there
are no background or fill colors shown on screen. None.
Zip. Zilch. If someone's interested in seeing what I mean,
I'd be more than happy to do a comparison screen print
between Explore and Netscape, or even Word normal view and
Print Preview. Obviously, this has been an amazing pain
when working with documents that require fill colors and
background colors.

In addition to the color problem -- it happens on all
Windows products but doesn't happen in any other
applications -- my Internet Explorer text shows all wrong
.... it's always too big and there are no colors (unless the
text is a link). Fortunately, this doesn't also happen in
Office. But in Interenet Explorer, no matter what my
settings in the options/preferences, the text is always too
large and out of whack.

I'd appreciate any and all input about how to resolve this
problem. Please, does anyone have any suggestions?
