certain aspects of a webpage are 'invisible' unless using "Chrome"

I'm attaching a side-by-side screenshot to make the point visually. The issue is a broad one and occurs on different web sites when there's a button that takes some action (like 'download' etc. etc.); the button will appear when using 'Chrome' but when using IE or Mozilla.


IT TURNS OUT THAT THE THEME THAT CAME WITH THE PC WAS THE CULPRIT. ACER HAD PRE-CONFIGURED THEIR 'ACER' THEME AND WHEN THE WINDOWS 7 THEME WAS INSTALLED INSTEAD THINGS NORMALIZED!!

It almost looks like part of the CSS is being blocked. The odd thing is both FF and IE have the same issue (the site looks fine on my IE, FF, and Opera). Try booting to Safe Mode with Networking, and see if all browsers work correctly there.

Safe Mode

If they all look correct there, try a Clean start to see if there is a conflict

Personally, I'd be looking at the Norton toolbar 1st. You could certainly just disable it in each browser to test.

Internet Explorer - Enable or Disable Toolbars and Extensions Add-ons

Firefox - Start Firefox in "Safe Mode"

CSS = Cascading Style Sheets , a webpage building element. I understand it happens in 2 browsers, I mentioned that in my post.

Read the link for the Clean Start I posted, it says it all (not a re-imaging, a temporary test)

Sorry I can't look at the pdf but you might just post a direct link to the website,

Post any screen shots you wish but use png or jpeg file types so anyone can see them easily,
Cheers.

No sorry I personally do not use Adobe reader or any pdf reader on this particular machine,
I try and keep the security holes to a bare minimum.
This forum has very good upload options for images please use them it for all users safety,
Cheers.

I too don't have Adobe reader, but do use Sumatra. So, it did not change in Safe Mode? And disabling addons/extensions also made no difference? See if it displays correctly in a web based proxy
