It seems word and notepad txt files are ok. It's everything i search with
Internet Explorer that is a problem. I did all the steps you mentioned and I
still get the same thing. I did note that 2 windows opened by IE were ok.
myOnline trading accounts
work fine.. however another page opened Belarc Advisora which gives history
of the computer components, opens up with legible headers, but all the frames
for showing details of info are subdued on a white background which only is
legible when i scan across the entire page to bring up the printed word..
Never had this problem with XPand IE.... any other suggestions?
