My little brother accidentally messed up the computuer, and in the process of fixing what my brother did, my dad messed up the colors and font. My dad was able to fix my brothers mistake, but we were unable to fix his. We've been looking through the control panel trying to switch the computer colors back to default and switching the theme, and I even removed the picture backround I had to switch the colors back but none of what we did seemed to be working. We have an e-machines computer if that makes a difference, I'm sure it does. The only thing we haven't done is shut down the computer then turned it back on. I'll try that later, but I was hoping that some of you computer experts might have any other suggestions, so do you? Thanks in advance!

My e-machines did this as well. Go to your Control Panel, then Display, then click on the Settings tab. Try changing your color to 16 or 24 bit, and restart.

I'm not sure how to solve your problem on XP, the way I solved it on ME. I completely restored my system.ini file, but it's not the same as the XP version is, I'm sure. My advice is to find someone else with XP, copy-paste everything in their system.ini file on their computer, e-mail it to yourself, then copy-paste what they have into your system.ini. Make sure you back yours up before you try this!

(5) windows xp if thats what you mean... if not then I'm not sure. Okay, well I did your first suggestion with changing it to the 16bit, then restarted, and it worked. The only thing is the font is a little small, and there's a black perimeter but that could have always been there, but THANKS SO MUCH!!! It really worked!!!
