No text in WPF Window at runtime

Question

See more:

We have a project, build with VS2008 .NET 3.5SP1 on a XP 32-bit . If we install it on a 32-bit system it works very well. On 64-bit systems (W7 2008R2) it works too but you see no text anywhere. Nothing on menu bar, tool bar. You see the icons at the tool bar.
But if you click on a menu item and you get a forms dialog box, there you see all the right text.
A half year ago, we had no problems with this.
Do we bust something or can there be other issues.

Anyone an idea?

Thanks

Prossibly a graphics card driver problem, I've seen WPF play up un the past, I'd check the compatbility of that first.
You have you tried a tool called Snoop (fist result Googling "Snoop WPF", can't post links that work here!) it tells you the state of the UI, including Databound values.
