What specifically can't you see. Did you try changing the them back?

Thanks for responding. I played with the window color in
Display-themes-advanced. I set it to light blue, and when
I look at a spreadsheet in Excel that has different color backgrounds
set for cells all I see is light blue that I set in the Themes advanced
window.
My coworkers standard theme seems to work fine. So I tried going back
to Windows Classis theme, and now all I get is white and the Excel cell
backgrounds still do not work. I am sure this is simple, but I am stumped.

Thanks

Do you mean you can't see the background color of a colored cell?

Can you see it in Print Preview?

Check this out................

The fill color, the fill pattern, or the line color of a WordArt or
AutoShape object in an Office document does not change

As directed, change the High Contrast setting in Windows OS

Thanks Biff and all of you that responded. The High-Contrast option was the
problem. I would have never found it with out your help.
