Application displays white text on white background

[Larry Sabo]

Let me know if this isn't the best forum for this question, please.

I have been trying out Hindsite by ISYS
(http://www.isysusa.com/products/hindsite/), and it worked great for a
few days. Hindsite searches your browser cache and indexes the
*contents*, for up to many months of history, without having to
bookmark anything.

Then, after a Windows update (I think) and who nows what other
changes, the application window which displays the URLs that meed the
search criteria specified, uses white text on the white background.

I've uninstalled, cleaned up traces of the program in the registry and
Program Files, and re-installed, but the problem persists. I installed
the program in my Win98 partition and it works normally. Copied the
index files from that partition to the Win2K partition and the problem
persists, so it's not in the index files.

Any suggestions?

Larry

You'll need to get in touch with the application developer.

Thanks for your reply, Dave. I should have mentioned that I did
contact the developer and followed all the suggestions they had, i.e.
uninstalled and cleaned out the registry and files from the program.

I posted here thinking there may be some Windows configration setting
or dll that has changed and affects the font/display, or something
like that. I've Googled for the symptoms but they don't appear to have
happened to others, with this or any other application. I'm clutching
at straws.

If there are no further suggestions, I'll just abandon the
application, which will be a shame. Thanks for your thoughts and time.

Larry
