I have an issue when I choose drop downs from my menus. Sometimes I want to
look for a moment to find what I need, and it seems that after only a few
seconds they close by themselves. Is there a setting I can change so they
stay there longer? It is sooo frustrating.
thanx
 
Thanks for the answer, but this is more of an issue than that. I can be
directly on the dropdown and it will disappear. I am a graphic designer, and
very familiar with the computer. It also seems this problem only started
happening about a month ago, not sure if that helps, but maybe it will
 
In which application/window do you see this behavior (e.g., Windows
Explorer; Internet Explorer; NameOfApplication)?

What changes did you make to your system "about a month ago"?
 
I see it when I am in "start" programs... it happens in my application
programs like corel photo paint, corel draw, front page, etc... The only
recent change I made to my system was to install explorer 8, but this started
happening before then. I also installed quickbooks pro 2009, but again, don't
see that as the issue.
Weird one, huh?
 
Perhaps your mouse "Hover" times have changed ? You can make
adjustments with the Mouse applet in Control Panel or any 3rd party
mouse software you use ( Intellipoint, MouseWare or SetPoint ).
 
Have you tried another mouse? Not unusual for the button's microswitches to
wear and "bounce."

Problem solved... thank you. I went into the Control Panel and activated
"click lock" on my mouse button. Now if I press it just a little longer than
usual, those drop-downs stay up as long as I need them to. Phew.
THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!!!!!!!
