    For some reason much of my text has turned blue. I'ts throughout my computer, files, programs, folders, etc............. I don't recall doing anything with my computer to cause this, it just started. I have Windows XP SP2, Any help will be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Mr Blue

    First thought .....

    Are you showing 'Hidden files & Folders'?

    Have you run Disk Cleanup and 'Compressed old files'?

    Have you encrypted any files/folders?

    Compressed/encrypted files show up in blue - this can be changed in Tools > Folder Options > View - Show encrypted or compressed NTFS files in colour'

    Text is turning blue no longer!

    Thanks Pete, THAT'S IT, I HAD JUST RECENTLY COMPRESSED OLD FILES. I WENT TO TOOLS, LIKE YOU SAID, AND UNCHECKED "SHOW COMPRESSED FILES IN COLORS ". WORKED LIKE A CHARM, ALL BACK TO BLACK. THANKS AGAIN, Jim
