I am trying to fix my "new" old work computer. When I use any web browser, firefox or IE 6-8, all the web pages look really plain, little to no graphics, and lots of white space everywhere. I have the newest versions of java, flash, ect...Does anyone know what could be causing this?

Thanks for the help but I still couldnt get it to work...Now that I am working with the computer more I notice it is not only web pages but also in windows dialog boxes, so could it be a display setting? I attached a screen shot if it would help.

That is easy to check.

Rightclick on your Desktop > Properties > Appearance tab > check if it is set to:

Windows XP style
Default (blue)
Normal

Then on the Themes tab check if it is set to Windows XP

And just to make sure look at the Settings tab if the Quality is set to Highest.
