Only if its persisent? How do I get rid of it?
Well, if it's not too persistant you could just "C" or "P" or "F1" or anything that hotkey's another menu.
But if it's persistant you could try this http://translate.google.ru/translate?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.labo-asso.com%2Fphp%2Foutils%2Ffallout.php&sl=fr&tl=en&hl=en&ie=UTF-8.
Or you could follow some steps http://www.nma-fallout.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5061 and http://www.nma-fallout.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=39638.
My experience of the problem is limited, I've hardly experience it at all myself.
