I find myself having to highlight the typing area in Explorer 9 with my mouse 'I' sweeping to see what I type and guessing where to continue typing. Mistakes are frequent as I become frustrated with the Browser and simply use Google or Mozilla Fire Fox. One window in particular is the one at the bottom that pops up to ask you if you want to disable features or run or save a program. It has a yellow top bar and the typing and readable zone is an off tan with very faint white lettering. The Writing Pad by Microsoft that mysteriously appears after about 4 days of consistent running without shut-down or re-start, has the same display problem. The only thing I see is the curvy zigzag red line indicating a spelling error when I click on it I have to guess what word I'm correcting:) . Right now I see the letters I'm typing perfectly because I'm in Google's free downloaded Browser. I've tried altering colors 1 and 2 in theme constructions but don't find the right mode to figure out which color is for the affected window and which color is for the printed font type. Please send suggestions.
