    You should take some time to devote to the problem when it's possible. :)

    Bite the bullet & ran sfc. Results were that it found corrupt files & repaired them. I'd like to know what it found but when I try to copy/paste Brinks command to see the Notepad file I can't seem to get it accomplished. Don't know what I may be doing wrong.

    If it wasn't for bad luck, I wouldn't have any!!! And I guess I'm blind too, found the sfcdetails on desktop, read it & came uncorked! This was all for nothing, all it repaired that I can see in details was my email which had NO PROBLEM & now I can't open it. But before I discovered that, I went back to see if I could get my desktop color back & ended up with black lettering again.

    Guess I'd best go learn how to work with System Restore & see if I can find a spot to restore to before I end up throwing this machine out the window.

    If that doesn't work the maybe a Repair Install will got you up and running.

    So far it's good. Got my mail back & white lettering on desktop. Not 100% sure of DT color but that's not the end of the world. Won't mark as solved just yet but probably will after a bit more checking out.

    Thank you.

    some good news then. Can you right click the desktop in an empty spot and select Personalize? If so see if you can use an Aero theme.

    Yes, good news there . I looked at the Aero themes but I really like the Solid background & do more or less think it's what I had before so will stick with it.
    I have found another little glitch tho'. My Speckie isn't working even tho' it's enabled in Manage Add-ons. I might try a reinstall there, no real biggie.

    Thanks for all your help.

    You're welcome.
    If you mean Speckie the spell checker, it is really buggy, I use it. They did just release a new version.
    If it's Speccy the system info tool, uninstall the old one first. :)

    I did mean spell checker & I boo-boo'd, there are 2 listings for Speckie in add-ons & I only saw the one. I gotta learn to slow down & open my eyes.
