    Hi all,

    Just recently (past few days), I've been having two problems with my right click menu in Vista. One of them is when I right click, the right click menu is faded (as in the effect of it appearing from nothing doesn't finish all the way). Only when I actually mouse over the menu does it become a solid background.

    Also, sometimes, when I select an item from the right click menu, the blue highlighting that Vista does when selecting stays on the screen, in the same position as it was for the menu, even after I select the item or even click off the menu. Attached is a picture of it from my desktop. It happens in Windows Explorer, as well as programs like IE, Firefox, and many others...I'm not sure what's wrong. It didn't used to do this, so I'm not sure what's going on. I can get rid of it if Vista goes from Basic to Aero or Aero to Basic, or if I lock my computer, and SWITCH USERS (If I log back in, it's still there), and then switch back to mine (technically there's nothing to switch since I am the only one with an account on my computer, but it still works as if you are doing it).

    Does anyone know how to solve these problems?

    Thanks.

    Try reinstalling your video card drivers, and try to see if it happens using Vista's non-Aero theme, or only with Aero.
