Hi all,

I have a frustrating problem.

Not serious just annoying.

On IE8 that i am running (XP3) the menu bar keeps getting blacked out so that I am unable to read the pull downs but the pull downs are there and if I click on the position of, say, tools, I get the tools menu show up as it should.

Not sure which prog is corrupting this but how can I revert it back to normal without doing a sys restore?

Any suggestions?

Thanks
