Try using up-to-date graphics drivers which actually have OpenGL support.

as I heared windows7 doesn't supports opengl so you might try to turn it off in your config file.

You're wrong. Don't spread misinformation.
It does not support native OpenGL, but it still allows drivers to do it in a software translation layer. This produces correct OpenGL visuals. It causes a minor performance overhead, but in our case it is not significant.
Get up to date drivers instead of early beta drivers and you get OpenGL. (It was the same with Vista in the early days too.)

It happened to me once. I just fixed it by turning off OpenGL in the setup window. The menu and everything came back to normal.

First try to update your graphic card driver, if there is still a problem your grapic card manufacturer sucks and you have to disable OpenGL, but first try to update your drivers!
To disable opengl open your config file (config.xml) in your
%userprofile%\.tmw
directory (just copy and paste that to the adress bar)

For future reference, newer client versions have a command-line option to disable OpenGL (--no-opengl). It only affects that session, so you'll still need to go into setup and disable it.
