The last reply before mine fixed my issue. Menu bar on IE7 was completely black, and did not display anything. As soon as I “applied” “use visual styles on windows and buttons” it resolved issue.

I had trouble with black menu and favorites on IE8.
I think I got mine fixed.
01. Set IE8 tools: Enable visual styles on buttons and controls on webpages.
02. Control Panel/System/Advanced/Performance/Settings/Custom
03. Use visual styles on Windows and Buttons.
04. Smooth edges to screen fonts (optional for better looks)
I reset my computer many times to see what would happen on IE8.
I am happy right now. I will keep using.

My menu bar is black and I cannot see anything. I went to the tools window like you suggested, but IE states menu bar not found. Is this one of the problems you have been having as well or have you even heard of it?

Thanks very much for that! I had a customer with the same problem; very strange.
