Example: When I view my online banking, my personal information is presented in a tiny font, which is also too pale to read, pale blue. When I am ordering something online, the fill-in boxes and what I type in them are tiny and pale blue. When I shopped on Drugstore.com, I had to read with a magnifying glass about their products. I have cleaned the registry and tried to find ways to adjust the font, but since not everything on the desktop is tiny and pale blue, I 've had no effect at all. Incoming email is fine, as is outgoing email. Word documents are fine.

Check the default font and color settings (screenshot: Some text shows up bold after upgrade)
