i have the same problem... it seems to have happened randomly. one day sonar is fine, the next it has this toolbar problem you described. i'm running windows 2000 sp4 on a p3 800. did a custom uninstall, removing everything, and re-install with no luck. as far as i know, no change in the operating system, although with windows you never know. i'm using sonar producer 3.1.1.

It is a graphics card issue. Are you bith using NVidia graphics cards of some sort?

The quick fix is to lower your graphics card acceleration one notch but that will put more strain on the CPU.

Make sure you have the latest drivers from NVidea if you already have these drivers then reinstall them.

This should fix the problems.

i am using nvidia, and now that i think about it, i recently re-installed an older nvidia card, a tnt2, trying to troubleshoot some monitor problems and i think that's probably when it started. the "newer" card is a geforce2 mx of some sort. if newer drivers don't fix it then i will put the newer card back in, as installing the older one did not help the monitor situation.

thanks!
