Since last week Windows 7 started acting strange here... Basically if I select something from a right-click menu, it will leave a "ghost" behind:



Of course I thought it could be video drivers, but I am using the latest ATI release, installed in August, and this problem only just started happening this week...

Any ideas?

Someone suggested it could be IE9... One of the required hotfixes "fixed" a DirectX problem. Obviously not...

I have had that happen in the past if I had not disabled all the fading stuff.

I still regually get tooltips left behind by things. Right now I have one saying "English (United States)" sitting in the middle of my titlebar.

Never had this problem, in the whole time I've been using WIndws 7.

I think the last time I had this happen to me was in XP
