Fill Color?

[ccga]

I know this is a stupid question, but I'm desperate.
Whenever I choose the fill color button in Excel, I don't
see the color on my screen. It shows up on print preview
but not on the screen. What's the deal here? Is there a
way to turn it on and off and have I accidently turned it
off?

If this is a problem with all files with coloured cells, the high
contrast setting may be turned on. There is information in the
following MSKB article:
