Notepad++ shows CSS in black and format?

[Michael Belden]

Hi all
Okay as the title says all the CSS is just black.
Now if I open old CSS files I have coded it is all the normal colors for code like body in blue container in red and so on.
Now if I try and code a new file even after If I save it as CSS just to see if it changes it is just black text still.

I can start off with
body{
color: #fff; (or whatever code)
}
but it ends up just all black.

Also when I code it was if I typed body { }
then go back one space and hit enter it would then drop down and I would end up with all color coded

body{
( would indent for me and be ready for me to start coding here)
} (would drop this down the extra line so I could just start coding the line above)

If I go and edit an old css file it all works fine
This has never happened in the years I have used it.

Any ideas why?
