I'm on a new computer --- an emachine and using Windows XP with Internet Explorer 7. This may sound like a crazy question but it's driving me crazy because I can't find the answer. Can ANYONE PLEASE tell me how to switch the color of the TEXT? The text color is purple throughout the entire computer. I have two other computers and have not had this problem. THANKS! When you say throughout the entire computer do you mean 'everywhere' like start menu, control PANEL etcRight-Click on the desktop, and select Properties
Select the Tab that states Appearance

You will now have the control to change colors and more!

DaveTo go back to the default theme of Windows XP, follow DaveLembke's, click on the drop-down box next to "Windows and buttons" and choose "Windows XP style".I appreciate all the help and I did it, but everything is still purple. Anything I type, anything I READ --- all text is purple. I am going mad with this purple stuff. You may have some malware infection on your system.

Please read this post and post the logs at Computer Viruses and Spyware board.I'm doing that right now --- thanks!!
