Desktop display

The text under my Icons now appears to be black and is encased in a white
box. I don't appear to be able to find a way of retuning it to the normal
display e.g white text against the usual blue background of the desktop. Has
anyone got any ideas??

The color for your Icon text font is not a good color for your background.

Rightclick the desk, Properties, Appearances tab, Advanced button, 'Items'
drop box set to 'Window', see (usually greyed out)Font 'color' settings. This
will set the text color for icons, and the desk/explorer, and apps.
Alternatively, you might change the background color.
