    I just bought my AOD150 yesterday and I love it. One problem is that several webpages (including Facebook) do not display all of the colors and graphics. Some of the buttons don't show up and there are color filled areas that are blank/white. Is there a way to solve this problem? Any advice is welcome.

    The problem is with both Internet Explorer and Firefox.

    I removed some Trojan.BHO viruses when I first ran antimalwarebytes. Could these have damaged the display properties?

    It is a brand new computer I wouldn't think that it needed new drivers.

    Woo Hoo.... I finally found a discussion where someone had the same problem. Believe it or not, somehow, the Accessiblity utility in the control panel got set to High Contrast. I unchecked that box, and everything was fixed. Such a simple solution, but it took a lot of searching to find.

    Was this a new computer (from a shop) or from an individual ? I'm only asking because you shouldn't really get a virus from a new computer :eek:
