It is not just the ad banners. It’s the header area where “author”, “thread” *post new topic*, *post reply* and the footer where the time is listed. When I hit the button to reply to a post, it is the same scenario. It's most annoying when the area where one types changes to a dark color. My box is used in my office where its primary purpose if for drafting using AutoDesk AutoCad and PhotoShop. Our computer guru has set the local resolutions as it pertains to using these programs. It has been an issue in the past when graphically displaying other programs that I run and am tending to believe Steve St. L's response. I was not sure if it was a TDR issue. Sounds as if it is local. Again- not a big deal, just a lil' annoying at times. Steve- thanks for the info and keep up the good work. -frank.
