---- Bizarre -- The Word "Copy" on Web Pages is Blacked Out

Yes, only IE9 as far as I can tell. FF and Chrome are OK.

Yes, tried clearing cache (numerous times).

I clicked around bitly more and noticed that the linked word "copy" appears in a few places (in a drop-down menu, on the "info page" for a given link) and, sure enough, the word "copy" is blacked out.

I ran IEs "developer tools" (similar to firebug) across one of the blacked-out buttons and got this...

<a class="copy white_button" href="#">
Text - Copy
<span class="clippy"/>
<div style="left: 0px; top: 0px; width: 100px; height: 31px; position: absolute; z-index: 99;">
<object width="100" height="31" align="middle" id="ZeroClipboardMovie_1" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codeBase="https://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,0,0">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"/>
<param name="allowFullScreen" value="false"/>
<param name="movie" value="/s/flash/zeroclipboard/ZeroClipboard.swf"/>
<param name="loop" value="false"/>
<param name="menu" value="false"/>
<param name="quality" value="best"/>
<param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff"/>
<param name="flashvars" value="id=1&width=100&height=31"/>
<param name="wmode" value="transparent"/>
