cells wont highlight

[Guest]

Im working on a clients system and have run into a problem. The cells in
excel wont highlight or "fill" any color. It doesnt have anything to do with
the formulas, because it doesnt work on a blank excel document either. There
must be a setting Im missing. I have attempted reinstalling office, and have
made sure it was updated to SP2. Strange part is, it shows the colors on
print preview, and on the actual printed document, but not on the main page.
Can anyone give me some tips on what to try next?

This is a Windows High Contrast setting.

The fill color, the fill pattern, or the line color of a WordArt or
AutoShape object in an Office document does not change
