"SirEric,"
I just changed mine to selected item>LimeGreen/w Text>Black. Works just fine except when selecting an account that is in a grey bar there is no color change. Those that are having difficulties reading their selection could be checked by clicking on 'Start Button' > Settings > ControlPanel > Dislpay > Appearance > Selected Items. That is on Win98SE not sure what it will be on XP, 2K, 2K3, NT, etceteras. I attempt to keep mine set to Black so it will show through just about any other color.
