How can I darken the print on my screen?

Totally agree with Doug Mitchell response, have had my Dell laptop with Window 7 pro 64 bit for 3 years now and only started having this light print issue on everything excel files, word docs being read, emails etc within the past couple of weeks .. almost as if a Windows update somehow reset something in my computer that makes everything light grey instead of black print .. and there does not seem to be a way to fix it .. Microsoft has been in  the business since forever and one would think this issue would be clearly characterized and solutions made available for, but this company is in the nasty habit of palming their problems off onto the people who buy their products and this appears to be just such a case .. if anyone figures this out, lemmeno.

Hi,

I run Win 7 64bit on a computer with performance rating of 7.3.

The print which appears on my screen (a top spec Sony Monitor) is coloured light grey, and difficult to read, especially against the bright screen background. 

Will you please tell me how to get the print to be fully black.

I have tried the high contrast themes, but occassionally, when entering data the yellow lettering disappears into the background, and I cannot tell what i am doing.

Many thanks

Roy Mayo.
