IE8 misbehaving

[nichos]

As per image below I can not get rid of the black on the toolbars.

Reinstalled it a few times.

Same on my other PC but, one reinstall cleared it so far.

Anybody could help?

I guess a theme is doing this. Change your desktop theme to XP (Default). Right click on desktop and choose properties and change the theme to Windows XP. And if it's Vista, change the theme to Windows Vista.

Have you installed any registry tweaks to add background image to IE toolbar?

Yes Thank you, the Themes seem to have cured it.
