| | Re: cannot open start menu Try doing a System Restore before you started experiencing this problem. That is if you had a System Restore Point created. -- Andre Blog: http://adacosta.spaces.live.com My Vista Quickstart Guide: http://adacosta.spaces.live.com/blog...3DB!9709.entry "amber" <amber@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:EDFC8C26-09E3-4578-ACC7-4F414AA428A8@xxxxxx Quote: > Vista System was working fine, now when I click on the start menu orb the > start menu does not come up.

| | Re: cannot open start menu Hi Amber, First, try what Andre mentioned, a system restore to a date prior. If that fails, locate msconfig in Windows Explorer and run it, it should be under C:\Windows\system32 and place the system in diagnostic mode. Reboot and see if you are able to make it work. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org My thoughts http://rick-mvp.blogspot.com "amber" <amber@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:55386BE9-AB0E-41FC-B6D4-3474CE0BDD20@xxxxxx Quote: > Thank you, I tried that several times but no luck > > "Rick Rogers" wrote: > Quote: >> Hi, >> >> First, simply reboot and log back on, see if it starts working.
