When I Right Click..there's Nothing There

well it's like this...every once in a while if iright click on something on the task bar, or if i go to the file/edit/view/etc. menus, all i can see is the drop shadow of the box until i move my mouse over the certain parts of it...any idea what causes it?

 

could be that your skin/theme made the text the same color as your background. it happens.

 

Reboot the computer.

Happened on my old pc when I was doin too much work..

 

I know how to fix it, I was just curious as to what causes it. Too many programs open at once?

 

Your computer is busy working on several other things (maybe C4D rendering, msn, internetsites, virusscan) so it won't load that up right away.

 

Maybe too many applicaitons open I'd suggest getting more memory possibly or reinstalling windows.

 

reinstalling windows thats a bit too far to go you only need to stop having so many aplications running
