As you can see in Picture one, the submenu is completely invisible. Also, In picture 2, you can see that if you put the mouse across all of the items in the menu, the items appear but you can still see some transparency. I do not know what's causing this.

Operating System: Windows XP Professional, All Updates
Video Card: Geforce FX 5200

If you need more info, ask.

Do a system restore from the day before it happened. Should fix it.

that wont fix it

this is an error in the uxtheme file and has not been fixed

the only solution: disable menu shadows and restart your comp



however, if the error you are facing is a COMPLETELY invisible menu that still can be seen when u roll ur mouse over it, that could be fixed by sysrestore

The only thing is that it happens randomly. System Restore was off "accidentally".

Reinstall would fix it :ph34r:

You try getting a "hacked" uxtheme.dll also - this will also allow you to use other visual styles also

Format c:\ :ph34r:

Try a program such as style XP and use a third party Visual style, this could help

I did format c: on saturday. I'm not doing it again.
