Ahhhh. So you're telling me I was just banging my head against the wall for
over an hour trying to get this to change... :) And, yes, of course you were
right: I turned off the Google toolbar and the yellow went away. However, all
the boxes except that one has a three-dimensional look to them. (Yes, I do
have XP.) But that single box is just an simple outlined box. So isn't there
a way for them all to look the same?

Thanks so much!
