Office Enterprise 2007 is stuffing up

[Blue_penguin]

I am currently using Office Enterprise Edition 2007 on my computer and have
for some months now. Just today, when I opened Microsoft PowerPoint (it
affects all office applications) it looked like it had come straight out of
windows 95 or 98. The ribbon was still there and so was everything else, but
it was ugly white, blacks and grays as well as horrible 95 or 98 icons. Can
someone help me?

Thanks for posting the screenshot. That helps.

It's almost a sure thing that you've somehow triggered the High Contrast
accessibility setting.

Try pressing Alt+Shift+PrtScrn ... depending on how things are set up, that may
toggle it back to normal display mode.

If not, use Start | Control Panel | Accessibility Options | Display Tab

Remove the check next to "Use High Contrast" and click Apply

As far as I can tell from that screenshot that you supplied it seems to be normal.

But if you find it different then use the Free MS support that comes with Office
Enterprise. Make sure you have your documentation when calling (proof of procurement
and the VL License that was supplied to you )

Go to the bottom of the link and you will have the Toll free number to call for the
Free support on a bonafide purchase of Office Enterprise through the Home Use
Program

Thanks for your help, but it didn't work. I tried checking, un-checking,
changing options, enabling shortcut keys, but nothing. I think it might have
something to do with a system file.

Don't worry, I figured it out. It was a messed up msstyle file. Thanks
everyone for your help.
