Save Me From Myself

I made the mistake of trying to futz with my display settings in WindowsXP to make things easier on my old eyes, and now every web page is white and the text is all mashed up.

What is the "default setting" for the XP display so I can undo whatever I did?

Apologies if this has been asked before0 I tried all kinds of seraches on AskMe and on the web.

Response by poster: Thanks, iamabot, but I wend through the steps to get to the "restore settings" button in the destop dialog box within the display control panel, and it didn't do a thing. Tried restarting programs, restarting computer. Nothing.

Is there something else that I could have done wrong? The problem is with both Firefox and Explorer, btw.

Thanks again.
