black windows and menus ubuntu hardy

Asked by dumpa

Hi,
I installed ubuntu hardy some days ago.
Sometimes when I resize a window it goes black, and I can't see anything inside the window. After that menus go black. And few minutes later it is really anoying and I have to reboot.

I don't have many hints about it. I have no visual effects install at all.

any clues?

thanks

Try changing you themes in

System - Preferences

Hopefully that'll force it into reassessing your desktop a bit.

Good luck and regards from

If you are still having trouble with this then please post it as a new question. Only the most recent questions tend to get looked at so posting/re-posting a question just before america arrives online after work/school gives the best chance of getting a good few answers - such is the nature of the internet.

If the problem has been resolved then please follow the link to the forum thread and mark it as Solved but please give us a clue how you did manage to solve it and also use the button under where you type stuff in rather than giving me karma credit points for just sending this note to you.

Apologies, good luck and many regards from
Tom :)
