| Did what you suggest. All is as it should be.
| I am convinced that somewhere, deep within my computer, is a little hidden
| tick that is preventing me from seeing background and text colours on
| websites.
| What it could be i simply cannot imagine.
| I have run out of ideas, except perhaps to return my PC to a time when
| things WERE working - if I can find thaty moment!
| Any other notions? ANYTHING & EVERYTHING will be considered.
| Thank you again.
