Windows Vista looks screwed up now

I'm running an Acer, don't know what kind because sadly my mother made me throw away the computer box. Anyways I logged off for a minute and when I had logged off I saw a little blue box in the corner. So I clicked it and it gave me all of these options to (I suppose) enhance my computer. So I clicked a few to just try it out and look. So one of them was "enhance contrast" or something like that and when I had clicked on it my computer went all black, purple, blue, and green. It looked like this (actual screenshots from my computer)

So I tried to fix this and I can't seem to do so. So I'm wondering if anyone can help me...

Re: Windows Vista looks screwed up now

You changed several things.

First off, you've enabled High Contrast for your theme - to change that see Theme Settings
Second, other options that you may have enabled will usually be found under Control Panel --> Appearance and Personalization --> Ease of Access Center

Hello Tidoxp,

In addition to John's post, it looks like you may have changed the color scheme to one of the High Contrast ones (black?). Check with this tutorial below to see if you have. If so, just select Windows Aero again.

Color Scheme

Hope this helps,
Shawn

LOL, that's what I had thought you did. I wasn't sure what Themes had to do with it.
