Windows XP Won't Show Default Web Page Colors Anymore
Hi everyone:
I have tried EVERYTHING I can think of to find what could be causing this and how to fix this but DESPITE having gone back to the Windows XP default settings, I **CANNOT** seem to get EITHER of my browsers to show the colors of the pages I visit on the web. I dunno what I did, but I can NO LONGER see backgrounds. Here's a list of the browsers I have and their builds... * Mozilla Firefox - Version 3.0.1 (My default browser) * Internet Explorer - Version 7.0.5730.1315 (Additional info. available on request) * Mozilla SeaMonkey - Version 1.1 Build 11 * Netscape Navigator - Version 9.0.0.6 * Opera - Version 9.26 Build 8835 * Apple Safari - Version 3.1.2 Build 525.21 * Google Chrome - Version 0.2.149.29 Build 1798 In addition, I have the old MSN Explorer AS WELL AS Windows Live, three IE clones (Avant, Free Source & ProgrammableTabBrowser) & one Firefox clone (Flock). NOT ALL THESE BROWSERS ARE RUNNING AT ONCE!!! Though when I can't get a page to open without crashing with one browser, I'll often try one of the others (Except of course Apple Safari & Google Chrome since they're not stable releases as of yet) as more often than not, this typically does the trick. The rest of my specs. are as follows.... * AMD Duron 1 Ghz. CPU * 512 MB RAM * ATI RADEON 9250 3D Graphics Card (32 bit color quality, 1280 x 1024 screen resolution) I don't have any problem with my desktop background environment (Just that on web pages). In each of the browsers, I have them set to show system colors, yet they STILL don't respond. IE still has the black background I gave it earlier this year when I switched to the dark environment, but I switched back when I realized how difficult it was to use IE with that environment (Thank you Microsoft for NOT realizing the need to AUTOMATICALLY make color changes to such things as HYPERTEXT LINKS and DIALOG BOXES for each theme! *Grrrr!* I would've figured EVEN YOU would figure out this need BY NOW, but I guess I was wrong). Anyhow, I'll be happy to post screenshots if needed as I sure would LOVE to get this problem resolved. -- Cheers Pat Cook Denver, Colorado |

UPDATE: Opera works fine, but all the others I mentioned which (Except Safari & Chrome as they are still in Beta) still don't. BTW...FWIW, I also have the SHOUTcast-specific IE-based bowser called Songbird too (Though I never use it). I tried downloading the newest verson of Flock, which is Firefox-based, but all it does is behave like Firefox. IE looks OK except for one thing - It has a BLACK background. On some sites, you can't even see the dialog box. In fact, I have to "feel around" with the mouse pointer like a blind man with his walking stick to find the SUBMIT button (And EVEN THEN that assumes IT IS EVEN CLICKABLE with IE using a black background). Yes, I've TRIED changing the settings in each browser to use web page colors, but it STILL does no good. Anything else I might try? On top of everything else, I can't get the navigation bar to appear in SeaMonkey to enter a URL. I have to go to FILE OPEN URL to do that. Either way, I'd really like to get back to using Firefox as my default browser. But right now, that's just not possible as it's on the proverbial injured reserve list and I as the coach am forced to stick Opera 9.52 Build 10108 (Which I just downloded just a few minutes ago) into the game as my quarterback. -- Cheers Pat Cook Denver, Colorado |
