...I didn't have to change my screen resolution to prevent the text from overlapping and looking like a bowl of alphabet soup, if I didn't have to switch back to regular mode or paste web pages into word and make sure everything was black and not yellow before printing it out on white paper, if the high contrast features on screen magnifiers like Magic and ZoomText didn't simply invert colors but to make everything the right preset color like Microshit Win Blows does... *sigh* I do not like my reading focus scrambling up on me when reading black text on white backgrounds, but it seems to be the uniform standard for everything up the world's ass. If anyone has any suggestions for a perfect high contrast setting on anything so that I may alieviate all this frustration of setting everything to meet the high contrast preferences then ending up having to set it all back again because it only works for 90% of text and the other 10% is like black on black or white on white or yellow on yellow or whatever! *repeatedheaddesking*

Well, all I can say is to get a screen reading program. With that, you don't need high contrast or anything. I'm totally blind, so I don't need high contrast, but that's the only advice I have.

Evidently, she does not need a screen reader. She just needs assistance with whatever the first post was about. lol sorry about that. I read it, but because I have no vision either, it didn't really trigger any ideas.
