I see red everywhere

[starzwell]

I use Win XP Pro and Outlook 2003. When I recieve an e-mail that dosn't have a stationary background it shows up with a red background instread of white. I've looked through all the settings I can think of but can't figure it out.

Where this gets really weird is when I go to a web site such a yahoo or sometimes ebay the red color shows up on that background too. I've checked all Windows settings under display and changed them to different background colors besides what it says (white not red). I still get red for undefined backgrounds. I say undefined because sites like google are white and e-mails that have a stationary background are as they were sent.

Any ideas welcome.

A little more info:

This is SP2 but it did it before and after install

This has been going on for several months according to the user it was like that when she got it from the previous teacher.

The same e-mails sent to another user are white of course

All Windows updates are done

Windows that open up such as control pannel are white

What have you got as a setting in IE/ /Tools /Internet Options/ and right down the bottom left - COLORS ?

Specifies the color you want to use to display text and background of pages that have no colors specified.
To select a color, click the Text or Background box, and then click the color you want.
If you select the Use Windows colors check box, Web pages that have no colors specified will use the colors you selected for Windows.
If you want to override the colors specified by a Web page author, click Cancel, and then click the Accessibility button.
