Black on Black Menus e.g. Right Click on Desktop

from Stardock Forums
Hi guys
I have the latest (6.2b61x86) build on 2 PCs. One works fine. The other delivers black on black menus (after flashing black on white for a fraction of a second) when I right click on the desktop. Left Click on (for example) the Start Menu works fine.
Previous builds have done the same on this same PC, so its not an install or version issue. Maybe some funkiness with the NVIDIA video driver? Tho it's hard to see why it wld effect only right click and only on the desktop. Doesnt seem to matter which skin i choose.
Hmmm?

[font="Tahoma,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"]I am having a similar problem as well. I am new to WindowBlinds, so I don't know if there is some settings there that need to be tweaked. Whenever I right-click on the desktop, the menus are black with either faint white or black text; only when an option is highlighted do I see the normal black text on white background. I don't have NView turned on, I don't think.

Here is my system info:

WindowBlinds version : WindowBlinds 6.2 (build 61 x86)

WindowBlinds is installed correctly on this PC
WindowBlinds appears to be activated on this PC
Your machine supports per pixel borders on WindowBlinds skins.
