Dear All

We have a Laptop that keeps chagning Outlook themes from Blue to Grey, and I
cannot find a way to change this back. Nothing seems to fix this.

Can anyone help? It is set to Windows Appearence is set to - Windows XP
Style , Default Colour schem is blue (I have checked thsi against another
machine ) and it seems to be ok.

Can anyone help?

Thanks
 
Which version of Outlook are you using?
When this happens, does it change for all Office applications or just
Outlook?
 
Outlook 2003 SP3

Word and Excel seem fine.

In the past I have done an XP PRo system restore to fix this, but noe of the
restore points work.

It does this every now and then.

It ha a docking station, and when I undock it, it appears fine. When docked
it does this. It is using a Matrox box with 2 Dell monitors.

Thanks
 
Matrox has/had some known issues with their video card drivers icw Outlook
and multiple screens. Especially when also Word was set as the email editor,
some unexpected things happened. See if updating your video card driver
solves the issue or resort to a previous version if the latest driver is
causing this issue.

From an Outlook point of view, you could check if the application's shortcut
hasn't been marked to run Outlook in XP's compatibility mode.
You could also check if the issue isn't being caused by a 3rd party addin by
starting Outlook in Safe Mode;
Start-> Run; outlook.exe /safe
