Strange text colors

[Guest Sam]

After the recent windows updates, my wife started noticing very strang text

colors in her Outlook email (HTMl formatted) and some web sites using IE7.

For example most of the text is blue\black but some of the characters are

purple. It is consistant throughout the email, etc. That is all of the

"w's, o's, and a few other charecters" are purple while the rest of the

document is blue or black. If you cut and paste the text into Microsoft Word

or do a reply in outlook, the text appears correctly. If you forward the

email to another computer, it also appears fine. So it is PC specific and

seems to have something to do with html formatting. However, I also noticed

some of the help topics in Outlook have the same problem. I tried playing

with the color settings in IE7 but nothing has helped.

Hi Sam,

 

Does the same thing happen in Safe Mode (w/networking)?

Safe mode with networking has the same strange colors for certain letters.
