    Hello

    I somehow changed the color when I go to the internet. The best way to explain this is www.msn.ca is one of my home pages and when it comes up, the advertising is nothing but a block of red, and doesn't show what should be there.

    If I go to Hotmail, the "background?" screen is pink.

    I've played a bit to try to undo whatever I did, but ain't working.

    Can somebody please help me undo this little aggravating problem?

    Thanks

    Dana Murray

    click tools, Internet Options; in the general tab click "colors" (should be bottom left corner). Click the "use windows colors" check box. Should return things to normal.

    Almost back to normal

    Thanks for your help so far, all the background colors have changed back to normal, however, I am still getting "red boxes ". Is there something else I can try?

    I'm not sure what to do about the red banner, but on that particular page there is a series of small colored boxes on the uppper right. These change the color theme of the page as you see it. Try clicking on the blue box or the white one to see if that helps.

    Otherwise, I don't know were to point you.... maybe one of the experts here can chime in and give some advice.
