This is embarassing. This happened before and there was an easy fix but I've forgotten it!

I had to reload Windows XP and now all latex comes out white figures on a black background. When this happened before, I was told to download something but I've forgotten what it was. I tried to look up the thread where I asked before but couldn't find it.

Any one have any suggestions?
