What would cause menus to be transparent and the mouse cursor to disappear?

I was playing UT-CTF with bots yesterday trying to see how many I could spawn in a game. Anyway I stopped and quit the game, a couple hours later I started the game again but now some of the menus are transparent and the cursor will disappear.

I restarted UT in safe mode and it worked fine, I checked my video settings, they are as they should be.

What could I have accidently changed that would cause this anomaly?

I HAD THIS PROb a while back and just recently got it again after i had to reformat. i found the answer i was looking for here so i thought i would look again. i think it had to do with the detonator drivers or something. ill keep looking.

i had this exact same problem, for me it was Direct 3D being borked, i ran it in O-GL for a while, low color and low res, i got tired of it, reformated and got D3D working right.

That happens with some TNT card and the 4.36 patch.
If that is what you have you shall use an alternate d3d renderer for UT.
You can grab it from here
