Abstract: Computer screen legibility is controlled. A logically topmost software window of a particular color and of a certain transparency is created. Additionally, a pattern is used to further control legibility. The window allows screen objects logically beneath it on a z-axis to be viewed and manipulated and the window reduces a contrast of screen objects logically beneath it on the z-axis.

Abstract: A method and system for selectively viewing the content of web sites is disclosed. In particular, the present invention is a plug-in toolbar that can be used with any standard web browser software to allow a user to selectively display, block or even rearrange selected content of arbitrary websites onto a blank webpage as desired.

Abstract: A system and method for diagnosing faults that occur on a computer system. An executive unit loads an appropriate file set for a given fault from a database of file sets. An expert system unit analyzes the fault and uses the file set to determine a fact request to be asked or a remedy to be applied to the computer system. The executive unit directs a script management unit to run the fact request or remedy script selected by the expert system unit from the file set. If a response is given by a user or the computer system to the fact request, the executive unit returns the response to the expert system unit. The expert system unit engages in a further analysis based on the initial fault information and response received. The expert system makes additional fact requests if needed until a diagnosis is reached or the current file set is exhausted. File sets are linked in problem domains, and the executive unit can load another file set covering the same domain to continue the diagnostic process.
