Can't see the fill-in text boxes on many sites

On many sits I cannot see the outline of a fill-in text box or places I need to insert text or a check mark. I can see raised buttons and the like. I was wondering if there is a way I can increase the visibility of the box' outline (without re-installation and such). Thanks.

Chosen solution

  1. Click the ≡ Menu Button and choose Options.
  2. Click the Content icon.
  3. Click the Colors button.
  4. Make sure "Allow pages to choose their own colors" is enabled.

In Windows, which theme do you use — Aero, Basic, Classic or High Contrast?

Can you attach a screenshot of the issue?

Thanks for the response and suggestion. I have no idea what changed, but it appears the problem resolved itself. I have not found a site where I can replicate the problem, so best guess is that the computer loolies fixed the problem. In other words, Idk know what changed. If it reappears I will post it and a screenshot.

Thanks again.
