cant see the menu

i downloaded arduino 0022 and i also tried the the older versions basically the program works but i cant see any text in any of the menu screens. i downloaded the latest version of java etc still didn't do any good. iam using windows 7 32bit.
if i go into file,edit,sketch,tools,help. i cant see any text some times the text does show for a bit then disappears again.

Ensure the video driver is up-to-date.
