changed display properties
A friend of mine has done a very clever(stupid really)thing. He has somehow
managed to change the display properties to the same colour-BLACK-now he cant see anything on his desktop. Can anyone tell me how he can change things back to the way it was prior to the changes he made. He tells me its impossible to see anything other than the cursor on the screen. Thanks Jim.

Tell your friend to restart his computer and boot into Safe Mode. He may be able to simply change the display settings. If that doesn't work, here's another option.
