Big Problem!

This is where you can discuss your homework, family, just about anything, make strange sounds and otherwise discuss things which are really not related to the Lancer-series. Yes that means you can discuss other games.

Mmm, it could be something as simple as the text colour being changed to white, but it sounds like you Windows install is kaput. I would advise a reinstallation. If you aren't prepared to do that, then let me know and I'll do some research for you.

actally, if the tecxt colour is white, and the background is white, it is a problem with windows, but there is a POSSIBLE countermeasure short of reinstalling...

Instructions for XP:
go to the display constol panel and click on the 'Appearance' tab, then go to the 'advanced' option.
There you can change the default text and background colours, your problem should be here, if you cant actually see what the hell ur doing, you could sent a remote assistance request to one of us and we can fix it for you.
Other than that, i cant offer any help

@Esq: im surprised you didnt think of something this simple!

All text is black. The weird thing is when I move the mouse to body of a email the little sand clock appears...

There is no reason for reinstall to be wrong, it worked at first. it got messed up couple days ago :/ (reinstal was done around a month ago, if not even more)

Try creating a new user for your computer, see if it works with that user. It could be that the theme is messed up.
