Help!! I am on a G3 powerPC running OS10.2.6. There are 2 users, myself and my daughter. When I log into my username the screeen is fine, everything normal. Under my daughter's screeen name, the comptuer screen looks like a black and white film negative, where images look like ghosts. She says this happened suddenly after she hit some keys accidentally on the lower left hand side of the keyboard (which is a REALLY old keyboard that came with an SE/30 mac MANY years ago). Does anyone know what to do to get it back to normal? I have tried everything under system preferences (e.g. display color, contrast, brightness modes etc..) but nothing works. javascript:smilie('')

Press Command-Option-Control + "*" on your keyboard or, open System Preferences >Universal Access >Seeing tab, click on "Switch to Black on White" box.

Your eyes should be okay by then!

regards,
MAJ

Your fix was perfect - the screen looks normal now, and now I know what the universal access is for. Thank you so much!
