Why can I not see what I'm typing when using hotmail?

[BDLEVY]

I am trying to send an e-mail using my hotmail account, http based, and Windows XP. I have checked the obvious things like Screen colours, etc. The cursor moves, but I cannot read my typing. When I send the e-mail a blank e-mail is received. Any assistance is appreciated.

Thanks.

Anything visible if you highlight it with mouse or by selecting all on the page?

Can you use System Restore to get back before the problem?

You could try running Sfc /Scannow from the Start Run Box to check your System Files.

Have you tried using another Font?

Make certain your text color is not set to white. To make sure select black for your text color if you can.

Happened to me a long time ago I set my text color to white so it looked good on a dark background but I forgot to reset it to black for normal text with a white background.
