Folder Window drop down menu and option completely transparent

Asked By adelyn 1030 points N/A Posted on - 06/12/2011

I’ve been irritated by the looks of my menu since yesterday. There is something glitch with my menu, things doesn’t seem normal to me at all so I decided to consult someone who could help me with my depression.

When I try to open a folder window and click any of the menus with a drop down option the drop down appears but it was completely transparent, and the menu text may be visible until I hover the Mouse pointer over the submenu.

Just take a look at the image and see how bad it is

Does this error have something to do with my Graphics Card? By the way is ATI MOBILITY Radeon HD 4200 total approx. Memory: 962 MB. I did not make any changes in my computer that would cause this error. All of a sudden the error appears without knowing how and why did my computer encounter such glitches.

Hello Adelyn

Most of the time this sort of error is solved by restoring your system to an earlier time. You Can check your system or if you remember that any software changes may affect this, you can uninstall them.

To restore your system go to Control panel > select backup and restore your computer to an earlier time. In this panel you will get back to your earlier time settings.

If some virus is creating problems in your PC you have to remove it first. It will solve your problem batter, although you can also boot your PC in safe mode and can solve this problem. To make this switch off your PC and then restart it now when booting press F8 key several times it will show some options to select,

Here select safer more when you have done it will go to safe mode and nowhere you can set your things like menus and any restore points can be set you can check for DISPLAY PROPERTIES on clicking the right mouse button and by selecting Properties.

Now you can change the theme but the major thing is to go to your APPEARANCE tab and here select advance you will see a lot of options here choose one of your choice and your problem is solved I have shown one for you here
