If you start the ABAP Workbench (transaction SE80) and the appearence is like the picture below with some areas left blank (red frame) then the problem might be caused by an upgrade of the MS Internet Explorer to release 7.00. The combination of SAP GUI for Windows 6.40 and the MS IE 7.00 requires at least patchlevel 20 on the SAP GUI.
There are also some other functionalities e.g. 'online help' effected by that issue.
To find out what patchlevel your GUI is running just click on the SAP GUI icon and open ' properties '. For our ABAP Trial Version community we provide a patch that can be downloaded from SDN. This patch is an exe-file that has to be executed on the machine your SAP GUI for Windows 6.40 is installed. After running this file the patchlevel of SAP GUI will be 23.
