google-toolbar

Yesterday, I noticed that my Google Toolbar has stopped working. The toolbar is still there, but it is completely blank (no buttons or input fields, just a gray strip of nothing). In addition to this, tooltips have stopped working.

If I disable the toolbar, the tooltips return to normal, so that particular problem definitely seems to be a side effect of the toolbar.

I tried disabling all my other add-ons, but that made no difference.

I also tried uninstalling and reinstalling Google Toolbar. That made no difference.

I haven't tried reinstalling the browser, but I'm reluctant to do that unless absolutely necessary.

Am I the only one having this problem? Any ideas how to fix?

Note: I'm running Windows XP SP3. I'm using Google Toolbar version 7.1.20100723W.
