Font Colors

[boojum]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.games (More info?)

When attempting to use the registry program, I received this error message:

"Registry Elector: Cannot import C:\WINDOWS\DESKTOP\COLORS.RFG. The
specified file is not a registry script. You can import only registry files."

Is there a solution?

Hi Boojum,

The file won't work on 98 systems. You'll need to manually find this key:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Gaming Zone\Chat]
and change the color from ffffff to the new color you want to use.
"FontColor"=dword:ffffff

regedit mistakes can be fatal. Proceed with caution and at your risk.
