expertec Posted July 2, 2004 Report Share Posted July 2, 2004 I think he can't read what he's typing because the reply background is black, but he should be able to see replies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gagaman Posted July 2, 2004 Report Share Posted July 2, 2004 try to delete the scheme C:\WINDOWS\Resources\Themes\Royale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
expertec Posted July 2, 2004 Report Share Posted July 2, 2004 I think that wouldn't work as Royale isn't the current scheme, he modified it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scarecrow Man Posted July 2, 2004 Report Share Posted July 2, 2004 O.K. I can walk you through it (windows xp) but I don't know if this will help...1. Right click the desktop and go to properties2. Hit ctrl+tab 3 times, bringing you to appearance3. Press tab 4 times to highlight advanced4. Press spacebar to open it5. Press the down arrow 16 times, or to the bottom, this will be your window text/6. Press tab once to get to the colour changer7. Press spacebar, and move it to the top left. (black is right beside it, so move it left once.) you may also need to press spacebar or enter to select it.*Note, key's don't work. You need to use the mouse.8. press tab again which will move you to the colour changer for font.9. Do the same as above, but to black (white is top left, black is top left and to the right once)10. Tab once and press spacebar to click OK11. Tab once again to get to the OK button, and press spacebar. If this doesn't do it, I don't know what else to tell ya. Sounds like you got yourself in a pickle of a jam. :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
