   Hello,

   I would like to highlight a menu category when an article from that cat. is being viewed.

   Here is the code I could not tweak:

   <li<?php if ( is_home() ) { echo " class=\"current-cat\"";}?>><a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/"><?php _e('Latest Ads','cp'); ?></a></li>
   			<?php wp_list_categories('show_count=0&hide_empty=true&orderby=name&order=asc&title_li='); ?>
   			<li><div class="clear"></div></li>

   Can somebody help me with this?

   make a backup copy of your file before editing

   it might work, if you replace this line of your code:
   wp_list_categories('show_count=0&hide_empty=true&orderby=name&order=asc&title_li=');

   with the following:
   

   if(is_single()) :
   $categories = wp_get_post_categories($post->ID);
   foreach ($categories as $catid) {
   $cat = get_category($catid);
   $cats[] = $cat->cat_ID;
    }
   $cats_list =  wp_list_categories('echo=0&show_count=0&hide_empty=true&orderby=name&order=asc&title_li=');
   foreach($cats as $value) {
   	if(preg_match('#item-' . $value . '">#', $cats_list)) {
   	$cats_list = str_replace('item-' . $value . '">', 'item-' . $value . ' current-cat">', $cats_list);
   	}
   	}
   echo $cats_list;
   else :
   //use default category list
   wp_list_categories('show_count=0&hide_empty=true&orderby=name&order=asc&title_li=');
   endif;
