Screen Doesn't Show Colored Text or Cells

[warchalker1]

I can change the color of text in a cell but when I hit enter to
change cells it changes the text on the screen back to black.
However, If i Print the document it prints in color and shows in color
in print preview.

If I try to shade a cell with a background color it still shows white
on the screen, again if I print the document or look at it in print
preview the color is there.

Any suggestions?

If the high contrast setting is turned on you won't see the fill colour.
There's information in the following MSKB article:
