Visio 2000 Stencil & page background colour black

[Christopher]

Instead of green background for stencils and light blue for page background
(default colours) my back ground stencil and page colour is entirely black.
This makes Visio unuseable. I had this issue once before and had to change
something in the register. The solution worked perfectly for years but a
recent virus incident has forced a complete PC rebuild which has led to this
issue arising again. I have Win XP previously Win 2000 Pro. Any ideas on how
to resolve this.

Christopher:
Have you tried clicking on the TOOLS menu, then OPTIONS, then the tab marked
VIEW and change your colors there under the "Color Settings" heading?

I tried this, while you can change the page background to a more suitable
colour the stencile background remains the same. When you close and reopen
the page the black background returns as this has been set as default. I add
not by me. I have had to rebuild the PC due to virus. I had this happen
before and the only way it was corrected was changing register entries but I
cannot remember how as this was accomplished as this was some years ago now.
Thanks.
