My iMac has negative image
Hi everyone,
I'm new to the forum, but need some help. My son's friend who is 7 was playing on the iMac today, and when I came in, the screen has turned into almost a negative image. White is black, and blue is orange. I can't seem to find out how to correct the image. When the computer boots up, everything is normal. It only turns this way when I log on to my account. Any help on how to correct this would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Ken

Easy. Hold Command, Option & Control, and the number 8.
It's an accessibility feature ;-)

Ooh ooh!
I know this!
Go to "Universal Access" in the System Preferences. He probably played with that.
You should make him a restricted account that he can't use to mess up the settings.
