Hello, all.

I am on the nearsighted side and I tried fiddling with the Windows XP Accessibility Wizard to make the print bigger. However, I found that some things didn't display properly. I tried to fix the font size and it looks ok, but the previously blue screen background is now all white and certain things such as radio buttons don't display at all. Any long text strings I see are cramped and basically, I just want to go back to the default. However, I can't see that option in Accessibility. Can someone please help me go back to the default settings? I've been trying to apply for jobs and sometimes the "apply" button doesn't display anymore.

Thank you as always!
