Hello,

Windows XP with SP2.

I have a strange problem within Windows XP and all the programs that run
within it. Not a major problem but annoying all the same.

Do you know inside a program menu there are sometimes 3 little dots that
indicate that can mouse over this to see an additional menu? For example, I
am typing this with Outlook Express and I click on Tools and then beside
Send and Receive is a little 3 dot icon to suggest a further menu that
appears.

Well, this little icon or whatever it is is corrupt on my system. It is
corrupt among all programs in my system. Rather than 3 little dots I have a
blue square with 2 or 3 white dots.

I thought it may have been a graphics driver options but have installed new
NVIDIA drivers but no joy. I also downloaded Tweakui and ran the Repair
Icons function but still no joy.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

td.
 
Got it fixed, not sure what was up or why this fixed it. Went to System
Properties, Advanced, Performance, settings and changed setting from Let
Windows choose... to Adjust for best appearance.

Thanks,
