Internet Explorer colors are whacked!!!

Windows XP Home SP2 - IE7 - I have attached a couple screenshots below so you can just how buggered up the IE color scheme is. I have gone into IE settings and tried every setting I could find that mentioned color or themes. I was able to get hovering to change color (it wasn't working before) as you'll see with AVG in the screenshot. I can't use system restore due to lack of restore points. I have tried the Advanced > Restore Advanced Settings; I've tried restoring defaults. I've tried installing different desktop themes. It's not a huge problem 'cuz IE works, it's just an annoyance more than anything else. So any help or ideas or suggestions will be appreciated.

THANKS!

 

Anyone??? Anything???
:cry

 

haven't use IE7,isn't there a front page options where they give you different colors to choose from. you could try to go to view and click on toolbars,customize see if there are any options there.

 

uninstall IE7,run registry cleaner(something like RegCure,not CCleaner),install it again and see what happen.

 

I've tried everything for colors or themes or anything remotely connected to that in both all internet settings and desktop settings and it made no difference. Unfortunately, the owner of the PC needed it back for the July 4 weekend so I don't have a chance to fix it. He wasn't too worried about, and he said "If I remember correctly, my son set it up like that on purpose... it's easier to see stuff". I think it made stuff harder to read with everything in the background just being white, and only white, but... to each his own.
Thanks for the help guys, but it's no longer an issue....

 

Thanks Halo, but I went there and tried EVERY possible combiniation, and nothing worked. Like I said in my first post, I was able to get the hover color to change (it wasn't working normally at first), but that was the only progress I was able to make with this. I checked and unchecked every box in every possible combination in "Colors" and in "Accessibility" (I even tried desktop settings and themes as a far-fetched last resort) and none of it made a difference with the background 'theme' on web pages :cry
Thanks anyway.

 

isnt there an IE7 repair kit.sounds like the kid maybe went to the painting program and messed it up.just a thought?..
