For some reason, I have seen this issue about six times in the past few weeks with Windows XP computers. The browser (both Firefox and/or Internet Explorer) symptoms include:
- Web sites don’t display all images
- Text seems distorted
- Backgrounds don’t display
The solution to your browser not displaying the images or backgrounds properly is removing the high contrast setting in the Control Panel. Here’s how:
- Click Start
- Click Settings –> Control Panel
- Double-click the Accessibility options
- Click the Display tab
- Un-check the “use high contrast” box
- Click Apply
- Click OK
If your web site viewing is looking a little goofy, and pictures, menus and text aren’t displaying properly, give these steps a try!
Like all the other comments I was trying to help a friend with their dell laptop and correct this problem. Google Chrome worked OK but not Internet explorer or Firefox.
Found your site and they all work fine again. I think a update made the change since this only started this last year. Thanks for sharing the fix. Would never have looked there.
