Guest Robert M Jones Posted October 25, 2008 Posted October 25, 2008 WinXP Home - with all latest updates installed In my user account (but not in my Admin account) I see little white boxes around the text of the main items in the menu bar of some programs (but not all - not in MSOffice for example but I do see it in Notepad Plus, and Mailwasher). I do NOT see these white boxes if I open the same programs in my Admin account. I am not aware of any program that is open in the user account that is not also in the Admin account. I use ZoneAlrm free as a firewall, Skype, Mailwasher Pro 6.3, Winzip Quickpick, Counterspy VIPRE, RealPopup, - these are all present in both admin and user accounts. Anyone any ideas please?
