Almost daily now when I open any application the bar at the top or all 4 sides of the open window display weird. They are not the correct color and are too transparent. The minimize, maximize and close buttons do not show correctly either. I suspect this happens after I wake the PC up and a quick reboot fixes the problem. As you can see from my attachment the color at the top of the IE window should be the same shade of blue as the task bar but it isnt.
Has anyone else seen this and if so do you know how to fix it? Its getting annoying having to reboot a couple times a day to fix it.
I'm running:
windows 7 64 bit
AMD 64 X2 4600+ 2.4Ghz
3.00GB Ram

You did not advise on a graphics adapter. You might need to update the graphic drivers. I have ATI Radeon 3650 for my graphics. I got the correct drivers amazingly from the Windows Update in Windows 7. I have not had this problem but it looks like your graphics adapter is not being correctly re initialized from low power state. If you don't have ATI, you can probably use Vista x86 or x64 Nvidia or Intel drivers. Hope this helps

You can manually remove through Device Manager with admin priviledges. It might be painful, but it would be your best bet. Just go to the device manager and go to the properties of your display adapter. Then tab over and click on the "uninstall" button on the drivers tab. You will have to do a restart after that. When you are done with that and restarted, I'd personally recommend you go to the built in Windows Update and get the driver from there. I got my ATI driver installed from Windows Update and its trouble free.
