    Anyone seen menu behaviour like the attachment before? The image on the left is an initial right-click on a web page or my desktop (with ActiveDesktop turned off, Win2K); the image on the left is what it looks like if I mouse over the menu.

    I've been fiddling around a bit with different software recently, most notably Avant Browser which is causing another problem (massive CPU usage and zombie processes), and a very embarassing spyware infection (bit like getting VD for me). Any tips or hints welcome.

    anytime i have seen that before
    be it 9x or nt os..
    it was corruption of dll..
    dll from video driver or windows dll u say..

    id say windows dll..

    next thing is how to pinpoint which dll is been envoked when you perform that function

    utlity called file monitor and registry monitor ..
    that monitors any file handles or registry queries,reads writes..

    i can send ya it..

    just my guess now, could be something else altogether

    I had that a few years back (win95 v2) one aspect was the way the effect became "sticky" as the mouse was moved on right click everything it passd over went funny as in the pic.

    I suspect I re-installed the video card drivers...
