Everything suddenly has an ivory background instead of white. How can I make it white again? I think I need step by step directions.

Thanks, David. It was a problem everywhere including my email, but I guess it corrected itself.Hey there Sister, there is a "Style" setting in "Preferences" that you might try (but I believe that "light" and "dark" are your only background choices.
First, click here:
Then look for the drop-down arrow next to the word "Style" (on the upper right-hand side of the window)
Choose the default and/or light setting from the drop-down menu.
Click on "Save" at the bottom of the page.
If that's not it, hopefully a CFcom tech will be along shortly.
God bless you!!

That's greatThanks, David. It was a problem everywhere including my email, but I guess it corrected itself.
BTW, you're typing to a dinosaur who has ONLY a desktop!
Partially correct (and would have been 100% correct some years ago). Since Windows 8 they've introduced what's called "hybrid shutdown"/"fast startup". This means that some states are saved to the hibernation file (what it uses to do standby mode but completely powered off), so some issues do return after a poweroff because it's reloaded those states to be quicker.p.s. - how often do you reboot/turn off-turn on your computer? I ask because MANY computer problems can be quickly and easily resolved that way, so it is the first thing that I try (typically). So, the next time that you have a problem, turn your computer all the way off, wait 20-30 sec, then do a cold boot (start it back up again). A cold boot (in particular) seems to reset things to were they are supposed to be You may also want to consider rebooting your computer once a day, or at least, once a week (if you don't do so already).
Wookiee All that is Greek to me!Partially correct (and would have been 100% correct some years ago). Since Windows 8 they've introduced what's called "hybrid shutdown"/"fast startup".

Telling Windows to Restart actually unloads everything properly and is doing the closest thing to a cold boot (unless you trick Windows into doing a proper shutdown, which is a bit more complicated for end users).
That sounds like the advice my husband used to give me, but he's been gone for years and I'm paranoid w/o him!That's great

Landline phone. No tablet ----- I wouldn't even recognize one if it's electronic instead of paper. Almost 2-yr. old great-granddaughter was playing intently with a device the size of a flip phone (maybe it was a phone) but I would have enjoyed some human interaction!If you're using a regular computer or laptop: click Start -> Restart as an attempt to troubleshoot any problems you may have.
If you're having random problems on a phone or tablet, power it off fully and turn it back on.
