I know this has been discussed before, but every once in a while when I open
IE8 in WinXP Pro SP3, the whole top is black and can't be read. I know of
the scheme to run/services.msc/themes off/ themes on, and that takes care of
the problem. However, it doesn't stick. Is there a method to make it stick
and not come back?

Thanks

Henry

As far as I know, Microsoft never fixed it. Are you using the Classic
theme? That's the scenario I'm aware of where this bug comes up....
using the Classic theme in XP, with IE8.

The options in this post seem to be the most complete, other than just
switching browsers:
