Default Right click menu invisible

When I use the right mouse button, the menu that should appear doesn't. It
is invisible until I scroll the mouse cursor over where it should be. I
changed the appearance from XP to Classic and back. That changed the drop
down menus back. They were doing the same thing.

Thank you for any help!!

System Properties Advanced Performance Settings Visual Effects. Try
changing this to "best performance." Then test the right click menus again.

You're welcome. If some updated display drivers are released for your
hardware and you install them, that would be a good time to try some of
those visual effects that you disabled. Or not, if you don't miss them. :^)
