The strangest thing keeps happening. I got my upgrade CD yesterday and installed. I wanted to start fresh, so I didn't make a system backup. I installed a bunch of programs and I noticed that occasionally, my start menu, handymenu, and any other popup menu in any application is blank. If I tap in the correct place there is functionality, but without the icons, how can I do that?

Anyone else having this problem?

P.S. A soft reset will fix the problem, but it eventually comes back.

Sounds like the font color is being switched to white on a white background, therefore it appears blank. Haven't encountered this, but that would be my guess...

Clever guess, but I don't think that is it. When I press the stylus anywhere on the menu, the actual words or icon on the menu appears. I guess I'm pretty much alone with this.

That's a weird one alright...since you just did the install and don't have much to loose (except maybe time ) why not force a hard reset and if this fixes the problem start installing your programs one by one till you find the culprit.
