Some time back, my screen went to a black background, not sure why . First, I would like to get back to the normal white / blue , and so far have found no way .

But ........ my second concern is. In email, I have lost the ability to 'mass' delete. I can only delete by clicking on each email one @ a time. .......... I now have over 7[seven] hundred in my promotional tab !! A very long P.I.A. process.

Any ideas ? Any help appreciated.
 

I don't know that I can help, but could you specify:

- whether you have a Mac, PC with Windows, or Linux
- what happened just before your screen went to a black background? Did you change it yourself? Is this affecting the whole computer or just your browser?
 

The mass deletion can be done by selecting the first email or item that you want to delete. Then, while pressing the CTRL key, also press the shift key and then click on the last item to be deleted. Try this for the black background fix.
If you can't understand him very well, use CC.

Click to expand...

Dell laptop , windows 10.

I just opended it one morning, had a hard time logging in....and when I got in it, was all black background , and for the most part yellow font on the screen. [ in places where it says, forum,search,attach files, etc.]

My email has not been right since then either. And it is slower than an turttle.

I have searched 'settings' nothing I have tried has helped.
 
Son Mike's computer once turned black screen and locked up some when Mimi (wife) spilled part of a glass of Chablis on it. We brought it inside and I set up a vortex fan on it and turned it in different directions after 10 minutes or so...it worked to restore it!

How's the humidity in your house? Might try a fan for a while and see...computers don't jive with liquid "air you can wear" either...lol.
 
I thought I posted this once already ???

Anyway, I followed the tutorial posted by SeaBreeze , and I now have normal color, and my mass delete is back.

Thank You SeaBreeze ! And too all that made suggestions and offered help.

Now I am going to "clean-up" some other sections, and see if that will help with the overall speed ?

If this turns out to be a double post ........ I really don't know why.
 
Re your computer getting slow, are you using an anti-virus program? Viruses and malware can slow down your computer. A good scan may help.
