DW CS4 properties display tabs cut off

Question

My Dreamweaver CS4 seems to work OK, but the bottom of the
screen where the properties are located has a stripe through it and
only 1/2 of the boxes are visible and some are not at all.

of problem
As you can see the properties boxes are cut in half and
useless. It only does this with the text areas, not images. I have
full access to all properties with images.

with images
Is this an issue with DW or my computer?
I have an ASUS G1 with plenty of ram and hard drive space,
meets all the requirements and Vista Home Premium.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Hi,
Let me start by saying that in the original format, the Spry Menu Bar works extremely well in all browsers.
The problems start when budding web designers/developers change the original settings and ruin the delicately composed original.
Adobe's Spry team has actually made it quite easy to change colours, fonts and borders by allocating a section that is titled as follows:
DESIGN INFORMATION: describes color scheme, borders, fonts
There is no need to venture outside of this section to apply the required rules.
I had a look at your modified style sheet and found too many changes detrimental to the functioning of the menu.
My advice:
Reinstall the original stylesheet
Create a new style sheet called myMenuStyle.css or similar and load that after the original stylesheet
Place you style rules in myMenuStyle.css as follows
ul.MenuBarHorizontal a {
background-color: #693;
  color: #FFF;
checking the browsers after each step
The above will allow you to check and keep the changes under control.
I hope this helps.
