All office applications have lost their "3d"

[JohnD]

Hello all

I don't know how to describe this. All my office 2007 applications have just
today lost their 3d look (on windows Vista). The main office icon (top left
of main window), has become blank and white, and flat.

Same thing seems to have happened on all the office 2007 apps.

I've tried to attach a picture, but it wasn't accepted to the newsgroup.

Any ideas?

Did you check your screen settings in Vista?

Hi JoAnn,

I've uploaded the picture to here:

The screen settings all seem fine. Aero is up and running on all
applications (including office). It's the icons, scrollbars, all the images
in the office apps only that look really odd.

Thanks,

Wow - that really sux. (Sorry)

Try changing your color scheme. (No idea if that will work but...) It almost
looks like you're working in a funky version of Safe Mode.

Wild guess ... check accessibility settings and/or see if Windows is set to a high
contrast display scheme.

OK, noodled around with colors and schemes and such stuff, and the colors
have come back, so all good again.

Someone PMd me about this today, but I lost their email message (something
odd happened in Windows Mail, on Vista. Hmm)

Anyhoo, the question was (if I recall) how I resolved this problem because
the mailer had the same thing.

The answer is, I'm not sure. I think I just changed to a different scheme
and then back to the default scheme.

I hope whoever PMd me will pick that information up here.
