Seems to be random. It's happened in IE, Winamp, WLM, and application installers (.msi and others) so far.

minimizing (those that can be minimized) does not help?
Try hitting Win + D (of course, make sure you use the Right key mapped to Windows key  ) to minimize all windows, and then bringing it back up and see if it renders correctly - if so, you may have graphics issues.... | | My System Specs | | Computer type PC/Desktop

Ok, I have come to the conclusion hat it's totally intermittent.
I just got a dialog in WLM (where it had once or twice previously shown no button text), and the buttons are showing correctly. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Apple MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum)

Hmmm - then it has to be related to something else....

Here's a picture of when it doesn't display button texts.
Machine temperature is average (for a notebook) it seems.
GPU: 52 Celsius
HDD: 35 Celsius
Core 0: 49 Celsius
Core 1: 51 Celsius

Something ain't right.
Also, try to capture some time in the future where you have both text on buttons and no text on buttons - if that never happens, then I'd say it was most likely a hardware issue, but i you get mixed then I'd say it was software....
Oh, is your AV / Windows Defender going absolutely crazy when this happens? Could be that the system forgets to paste button text b/c of HD activity, but the Mac has the mouse at a lower IRQ and thus when you click the button it overrides the HD activity....
Again, I ma taking shots in the dark here - I haven't tried Windows 7 on a Mac yet so I cannot say one way or another wth is really going on here. | | My System Specs | | Computer type PC/Desktop

There's never a case where there's one button with and one without in a windows.
Windows Defender is turned off, and no other AV is installed. I tend not to run any when testing beta OSes.
To me, it does seem more like a software issue, as I've never had anything similar on OS X, nor when I was running XP Pro SP3 on the same machine. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Apple MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum)
