Im using XP pro.
When I right click on any shortcut or program to show the dialog info box all i can see is a faint outline of the box until i move the cursor over it, then it shows up.
This started happening a couple of days ago.....i have no virus's or anything like that. My comp is suppoed to be fresh and this is really annoying the *censored* out of me.
Can anyone shed some light on this?
-
When did this work right last? Can you do a system restore to a time before it started? Any recent added programs, etc.?
i have no virus's or anything like that
Famous last words. What are you using for protection, just in case?
-
No recent programs...i use mcafee for protection....it did seem to start doing this after a macfee update but i cant be certain.
I did remover some stuff like Bootskin but again nothing major.
Do you have any experience with this problem?

There are a LOT of possibilities for cause and effect here. How about the online virus scanner at Trend or Panda?

Any spyware prevention/protection?
Unless the machine is squeeky clean all bets are off.
