while viewing files, just started getting a checkerboard-like background behind all the text. Is there a way to disable this or turn it off?

This is probably the "transparency grid" option. Check under the Preferences to turn this off.

Would you know how to turn this feature off in Adobe 9 Pro Extended? There is no Transparency grid option in Adobe 9 and I have researched quite a bit and haven't found anything. It is tiny grey and light grey or white checkboard background behind a page or picture or webpage that opens. What I would like is my old white background back. Can you help??

Edit > Preferences > Page Display and uncheck "Show transparency grid".
