Vista - Start menu bug

06-07-2007

Hello.

I'm using the classic start menu and when I click on it opens normally, but
when I click on something in there (for example: search, i.explorer, any
programs and all other stuff) it just does not open and the star menu closes.
It's pretty strange because if I try to open the stuff on the start menu with
the mouse they don't open, but the keyboard the things can be opened...

It happens many times and I don't know why. Any Ideas?

Thanks!

Hi Fred,

I had this happen to me as well. I'm not sure what caused it, but doing a restart of the computer solved the problem for me.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

hi brink,

that's right, when I restart my PC the start menu works normally again. But
it's not good if I need to restart the pc every time this bug comes...

But thanks for the advice!

Fred,

I don't notice the bug popping up often at all on my system. Maybe once a few months, if that often. Of course, I haven't narrowed it down to what may be causing it either. (haha)
