| | Start Menu button in Vista doesn't work My start button in Vista doesn't work! I've had a look through the forums and tried the things suggested to other people (such as regedit and removing none-needed shell add ons) but nothing has helped. The button works if set back to classic mode but I really want to avoid having to live like that or having to re-install Vista. I've rolled back a week but that hasn't helped - the only software change I've had is swapping AVG to Avast! - No hardware changes. Does anyone have any ideas?

| | Re: Start Menu button in Vista doesn't work Try removing Avast to see if its not the culprit. Since the Start button works in Classic, navigate to Accessories, right click Command Prompt, click 'Run as Administrator' at the command prompt, type SFC /SCANNOW to see if it will resolve any problem with system files and settings. -- Best regards, Andre Da Costa http://adacosta.spaces.live.com "dgricelloyd" <dgricelloyd.3jchje@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:dgricelloyd.3jchje@xxxxxx Quote: > > My start button in Vista doesn't work! > > I've had a look through the forums and tried the things suggested to > other people (such as regedit and removing none-needed shell add ons) > but nothing has helped. > > The button works if set back to classic mode but I really want to avoid > having to live like that or having to re-install Vista. > > I've rolled back a week but that hasn't helped - the only software > change I've had is swapping AVG to Avast! - No hardware changes. > > Does anyone have any ideas? > > Thanks! > > > -- > dgricelloyd > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > dgricelloyd's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/members/dgricelloyd.htm > View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/vista-help/1076453.htm > > http://forums.techarena.in > |
