[AccessD] A call to the helpdesk

"She had been playing with her system settings"

Hahahaha!  And this is often the source of the problem.  
Years and years ago I was stuffing around with the OS Language setting
at work and changed it from English to something else thinking it would
be amusing and simple to change back.
Naturally I overlooked the (obvious) fact that I couldn't change it back
again as I could no longer read the menus or instructions on the screen.
Hmmmm... Tech support at work were NOT impressed ;)

Laaah de daaah... Who?  Me???......

I got a frantic call one day from a user who waiked, "I've lost my
buttons!"  After I finished rolling on the floor, I went to look at her
setup.  She had been playing with her system settings.  Turns out she
had changed the text forecolor color to the same as the background.  She
couldn't read the text on the buttons AND when she opened Word, she
couldn't read her documents.  Yes, I got a call about that too.
