Highlighted areas disappear when pointer touches them

Hi All,
I like to learn about my computer by going into different settings, etc. This time I don't know what I did. This is the problem............
When your mouse pointer touches a title or a topic you want to click on it sort of highlights the words and then you click on it to go where you want. I must have turned something off in my settings or somewhere, because now when the pointer touches the sentence, the sentence DISAPPEARS !It will outline the phrase or whatever, with a black outline right as you click on the blanked out spot that the sentence was on, and then connect you to what you wanted.
Does anyone know what I mean and does anyone know how I can fix it ?
Thanks for your time ,

Hi Jilly
" "Does anyone know what I mean and does anyone know how I can fix it ?" "
Not really But maybe I haven't had enough coffee yet
Do you mean while in Internet explorer ?
Version of ?
If so Ive never heard of a link disappearing when hoverd over.

The settings for this is in tool Internet option's, advanced
at the bottom of browsing section
Underline links always hover or never
also on the first page of IE options [color] has more options
while on the first page check in accessibility's see if spyware mail ware has changed any settings there ,, anything checked there ? is there a style sheet in use ?

PS you might edit your post to remove the email addy

Thanks for your help LONNY !!!!!!!

I fixed it by going into IE color options. I was in there earlier. That was one of the places I was messing around in. I had it set on white with a white background.........DAAAAAAAA !!!!!!! lol
Hope you don't mind if I call on you again if I need you. I sometimes get myself in trouble when trying to learn stuff.
I also took your advice about the e mail. THANKS !!!!!!!
You
you're the BEST !,
