How do I get rid of Modified Theme settings and restore to the default? This is for the Windows Classic theme. The colors and background have been changed so that grated out text can't be read in menu boxes and the brightness makes the icons unreadable. I have checked the monitor settings and they appear to be fine.

Right-Click the desktop. Choose Properties.
Change the theme on the Themes tab, modify it on the Desktop/Appearance and settings tab.

Re boot the machine and start Windows in Safe mode.
(hold down the F8 key while the machine restarts)
Then you should be able to make adjustments

May be a video card problem. Try reinstalling\upgrading the driver. If the problem persists, try a different card.
