Klas,
Your new installation probably has a different definition for your
default face than your old one.
Try using M-x customize to set the value of your Default face (under
Faces, Basic Faces) to light yellow on dark green, and save it for
future sessions. This will put something like
(custom-set-faces
'(default ((t (:foreground "light yellow" :background "dark green")))))
in your .emacs file.
