IE 8 Menu Bar & Favorites Bar Black

[Frederick]

When will Microsoft deal with the BLACK MENU BUG! I am fed up with it.

The temporary cure is to change your theme - right click on Desktop - choose

properties - theme. Then, if you wish change back again. re-open IE8 or

choose another browser - then if won't recur. (Unfortunately for me - I am

tied to IE8 for some things - like bank access - who will only use IE. )

Try Firefox. Add-ons take a bit if getting used to - but helpful when you

do.

I'm not seeing any BLACK MENU BUG here. Wonder why you are?
