I'm in the middle of designing a website (my 1st attempt) and was making some small changes to a plugin on my index.PHP in order to create a Full-browser Image.

It didn't work, but having also changed my

 #menu background-color

on CSS page from white (Hex #fff or RGB 255;255;255) to light grey (#f7f7f7 or 247;247;247) somehow the background color on my Windows Word, Notepad, My Docs, Explorer and Mozilla browser also changed to the same grey.

I have since reversed the HTML changes without success and Display

Properties >> Appearance >> Advanced >> Window

is set to white so I’m thinking a file on XP dealing with backgrounds needs to be reset back to the default white. If so I’d be able to escape from this horrible grey haze.

Editting PHP css styles will not have anything to do with windows styles. I do several websites on several computers.. never happened to me. Its very odd. Do you have a screenshot or something. Maybe you set the page as an active desktop page or something. Try to set a background and see if that works.. – ppumkin Jan 19 at 15:28

Have you tried to fix this by rebooting? – marym Jan 19 at 16:11
I've emptied the cache on my FTP but no change. In Photoshop white backgrounds appear 255;255;255, but on all other programs that were once white appear as 247;247;247 - I have a sreenshot to show you but couldn't upload because I need 10 reputation points. – Steveo Jan 19 at 16:28
