Vista - Weird Issue with the start menu

Just finished a new installation of Vista Business Edition.

Changed the start menu item to classic etc.. and a weird thing appears to
have happened....

If I click on any of the icons, the bar goes away as normal, but no programs
launch.
If I change back to the new look menu system it works fine!
If I launch the apsp from their individual fodlers, they are fine, it's just
when the classic stat menu is beign used.

Anyone ANY IDEA why this has happened? Works find on other sytems!!!!

Found that the mouse driver beign used was not the default microsoft one.
Some other weird one had been downloaded and installed!!!!

Phew! back to normality once again!

It's trying to convince you that "classic" is sooooo 20th century and
that Aero is the way to go. ;-)

Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
