Running the latest version, with Win7, all menus including right click contextual, and menu bars flicker and disappear. THe menu is still there, just not readable. Have read about possible Addon problems, but thats impossible, since I have zero Addons and the only extensions are default nVidia ones (yes, I've tried disabling those, and it still happens). Can anyone/anything help fix this crap?

Try to disable hardware acceleration.

  • Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"

If disabling hardware acceleration works then check if there is an update available for your graphics display driver.
