Has anyone else updated to the latest version of Skype, which is 7.32, and had display problems on XP?
They have updated the look of some of the menus, and although it is still supposed to be compatible with XP, it is unusable in my experience.
The problem starts if you try and use the right click menu on the system tray icon.
The first time I do this it's fine, showing the new white popup menu correctly.
After that though, it all falls to pieces, with the conversation pane in the main window showing large blocks of black, which only come good if the cursor is hovered over them, and the system tray icon popup menu likewise black.
It's also corrupting the Windows menus on my system, such as the right click menu on the desktop or any of the desktop icons, also the dropdown menus on some programs.
Once it's like that, only a reboot will put it right.
Going back to Skype version 7.31 fixes it completely.
I'm seeing this on two Windows XP machines, with completely different hardware.
I've asked on the Skype forums about this, and the only person who has responded cannot see the problem.
Can anyone else confirm it?
Thanks, Dave.
