Blank black line where you scroll timeline

Hi all - I'm wondering if anyone else has had this problem. About 50% of the time I turn on Vegas Pro (8.0c Build 260), the scroll area at the bottom of the timeline where you scroll left to right and adjust the zoom size of the timelines is just blank. It's just a black rectangular area. The scroller is still down there and it still works, but you have to move the mouse pointer around in the area to find it and guess as to where it is.

I've pasted a photo at my website here so you can see what I am referring to: http://www.douglascountysportsonline.com/vegas-video-problem.html

I've found that it seems to be this way about help the time, maybe more. I often reboot the computer three or more times to get it to come back properly. I don't quite know what would be the best way to go about fixing it. I've never experienced a "bad download" of a program, but that's the only thing my non-tech mind can think of. Please advise. I'd appreciate it.

I think I have figured this out, thanks to a reply at the Sony Creative Software forum. The fix seems to be this: Get into the Vegas preferences and turn off "Enable Windows XP Theme Support."

I don't know what that is all about, but it seems to have done the trick.
