Can you attach a screenshot?

Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot and make sure that you do not exceed the maximum file size (1 MB).


Try to disable hardware acceleration.

  • Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"

If disabling hardware acceleration works then check if there is an update available for your graphics display driver.

I disabled the hardware acceleration, but it didn't make a difference. I have added a screenshot of a webpage to show you how the text looks. It looks green to me.

The screenshot you attached is showing the Text in black as and blue on hyperlinks it normally does.

Thanks for your feedback. I can now see that the screen shot text is normal. It didn't show up that way on my monitor until I found a fix for my problem.

I was able to reset my monitor to its original factory settings and the problem was resolved. It had nothing to do with the computer itself.

Thanks again for the input.
