IE 8 toolbar problem

[AB]

I'm using IE 8 with Windows xp. Yesterday the toolbar background
turned black, and on the right hand side ofthe screen (where print,
home etc icons are) it doesn't fully stretch to fit the full bar, so I
see parts of my desktop in it. The whole bar doesn't seem to be
properly placed from one end of the screen to another.

Is this a bug or known issue that will be corrected, or is there
something I can do to fix it?

Thanks for any help.

Thanks for responding. I tried some solutions mentioned; nothing
fixes it. How could MS put this out with such an obvious bug?

Guess it's time for Firefox.

There ain't no bug. Disable or uninstall your third-party Windows Theme and
the behavior is fixed.

I don't have a 3rd party Windows theme, far as i know. But
regardless, this AM when I brought up IE, no black !! Somehow it's
fixed. Hope it stays that way!

Thanks for helping :)
