Incorrect menu display

SRF — Sat, 16 Jul 2005 18:03:44 GMT

Has anybody any idea why I am getting an odd menu display? The background of the menu item (File, Edit, View etc) is white when it should match the surrounding grey. I'm guessing at a video driver issue?

This problem manifests with Acrobat Reader but not with any Microsoft products.

I'm using a VGN-S2XP and believe that I have installed all available updates.

Thanks in advance for any ideas.

Right click your desktop and go to properties
Then click on appearances and check you have Windows XP Style

Have you tried something like "Style XP"? After the deinsallation it deleted the Windows theme an shell. All works perfect, unless the screen was totally black.

Restorepoint and Systemrecovery (from Windows CD) was useless. :smileyfrustrated:

I would initially try uninstalling, re-downloading, then reinstalling Acrobat reader from Adobes website.
