Standalone Text Field problem for WindowsXP

[Joe Lewis Wilkins]

As it turns out, much of the "missing" text is actually there. It  
just can't be seen. I thought it might be that the color for the text  
was being set to "white", but that isn't the problem. The Menu hot  
keys work, but the menus themselves are still invisible.

Frankly, I'm stumped.
