In case you can't see it clearly, if I click the dropdowns, they won't show all the options and if I scroll through them the choices blend into each other. Clicking them is pretty much hit or miss and I have to resort to pushing the up and down buttons on my keyboard to select them.
Just wondering if anyone knows how to fix this? I reinstalled Win 7 and this has been happening ever since, as far as I can tell, only when FSX is running. It happens if I open my speakers in the taskbar, also, and in all ACARS windows like charts and fuel. When FSX isn't running everything works perfectly as it should. The workaround I have is minimizing FSX but that gets annoying if I need to look at charts (no printer). Anyone know if there's any setting in Win 7 I need to fix it? FSX and also ACARS are running as Admin.
Thanks.

Fast reply Justin. It never happened, ever, in my previous installation of Win 7 and FSX. Also, it's not just an ACARS issue as it happens if I open anything over FSX that has a drop down, even clicking my speaker icon in the taskbar to check sounds or adjust headset/mic volume. I can minimize FSX but looking at charts while FSX is minimized can be a hassle, especially if trying to look up a new approach ATC has assigned due to runway changes or whatever.
