webpage graphics not showing

The other day the computer "locked up" i had a black screen.
i did not want to reboot, so i started hitting keys on the keyboard.

windows came back up there was several windows open. i closed them all.
but the background was black. and the windows had
"new" colors. in the display poperties i fixed the background, and colors but my webpage
graphics are messed up http://thewildwestonline.com/browser.JPG
this is what yahoo.com looks like in firefox and IE any ideas?.

Thanks

 

What version of the browser are you using & what OS & version?

What is the problem exactly? I look at that & it looks OK.

 

im running Windows xp pro. both web browsers are "current "

some of the "borders" do not show up.

 

Here is another image of a phpbb. this site has a "black theme "
there should be no white in it http://thewildwestonline.com/browser2.JPG
also note some of the graphics are "cut off "

this looks the same in firefox and IE
also a image of this forum http://thewildwestonline.com/browser3.JPG

 

For the white BBS problem, in IE, click tools>internet options and on the general tab click the accessibility button. Make sure the line that says ignore colors specified on web pages isn't checked.

There's a similar setting in Firefox that will cause this in Firefox also. In Firefox, click tools>options>content and click colors button. Make sure the line that says "allow pages to choose there own colors, instead of my selections above" is checked.

It doesn't seem likely that both of them would have gotten messed up in this manner at the same time but it's worth a look to see.

 

Hi Zander,

I looked at the settings you suggested they were all correct.

here is another image from godaddy.com

i used the dropdown menu "domain" notice the background in the menu is transparent.

but seems some applications have graphic problems here is one of spybot search&distory
notice the file menu at top left is black.

im thinking i messed up a window setting when i was hitting all the keys.

 

To rule out possible other issues create a new user. Logon as the new user and start your Browser.

Are the colors still messed up?

 

i created a new user and log on. works fine like that!
sounds like you know what the problem is?

 

Logon again as the new user.

Start, Run, regedit

Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Settings

Right-click and Export this key to C:\
(remember the file name you give it)

Logoff.

Logon as you.

Start, Run, regedit /s c:\name_of_export_file.reg

Reboot. Test.

I may need you to do another registry key if this does not bring joy.

 

Thanks for helping me!

ok, i did that, no luck yet. when i imported the key i did not get a "confirmation "
from windows is that normal?

 

With regedit /s the lack of confirmation is normal.
