Question Int. Explorer black toolbars

Off and on two of my toolbars show up black with yellow stars for Favorites and icons for Home etc. I can see the desktop in slices through one of the black strips. Sometimes restarting corrects it, sometimes not. I can't fix it with manage toolbars or anything else I've tried. This is fairly new. PC was worked on recently with all new guts. Use XP.

Through the first link(or links from it) I saw a couple of different posts
about the ATI HotKey Poller causing the problem and to fix it by disabling
it in MSconfig. I thought this had started for me after updating the display
drivers for my ATI graghics card and it kind of looked like an overlay
problem. Not wanting to fix it in MSconfig I disabled it in My Computer
ManageServices. After reruning IE8 several time it went back to putty or
whatever color it's supposed to be and has remained that way. YMMV
Especially if you don't have ATI(AMD) graghics.
