For your first problem, it might have to do with your current XP visual styles. Check your display settings or any programs like windowsblinds if you have it running to make sure the color for an active window is set to whatever color you're wanting to see.

For the second, the only guess I can make is that other bodies are no longer downloading for you, or are missing. Check your console to see what kind of activity is going on, and also make sure that none of your Graal Folders are read-only.

As for the problems with the GUI and software updates, try removing all of the programs from your folder including the client. When you install a fresh copy of v4, it should scan your folders and find that RC and other programs are not there, and give you the option to install them.

Let me know if any of these work, and post some logs, if you will.
