Classic Start Menu playing up

[ZeroSP]

Hi

Just today, my start menu on Vista Ultimate has been playing up. It was
working when I turned the computer on, earlier in the morning, but now its
playing up. I have it set to classic mode as I prefer it over XP mode.

What happens is that I can click on the Start Icon to bring up the Start
menu but if I click on anything in the menu, the start menu closes. However,
if I hover the mouse over a menu (Eg Programs) it opens the menu properly but
a click closes it. Additionally, to select a program from the start menu,
clicking closes the menu but if I hover the mouse over it and press ENTER on
the keyboard it works.

Lastly, if I switch it over to the XP start menu the mouse responds properly.


Please help

First thing to do is reboot, and see if the prob persists.

This is happening to me, too. I have no fix, just wanted to let you
know you're not the only one... If I log out and then back in, the
clicks resume. I'm going to keep trying to pay attention to figure out
what could be causing it...

After a few (3 or 4) restarts its fixed itself, and hasnt bothered me since
