my start button doesn't work

Doug

Hi,

I have xp pro on my notebook and my start (windows) button no longer brings
up the usual menu. Also the quick launch menu bar wont let me rearrange
icons.

I thought that it could be realted to my keyboard, but when I plugged in an
external keyboard the isse is still there.

Any assistance appreciated.

Doug

You are a ****wit. A moronic, clueless, cretinous, imbecilic, idiotic,
stupid, thick-headed, numb-skulled dickwad. When are you going to get it
into your pea-sized brain that, when it comes to anything technological, a
three-year-old has more idea than you do?! I have just Googled for you at
your current address and, since you started posting, I haven't seen a single
post that: -

a) Makes sense

b) Shows any kind of technical aptitude* whatsoever

c) Has been researched

That's a very big word for you. You may need to avail yourself of a
dictionary (of course, I'm making a huge assumption that you actually know
what one is...)

Welcome to the Moron of the Month Award's permanent Hall of Shame. Others'
stays might be brief but, by displaying total and utter ineptitude and
complete unwillingness to learn, you have proven that you're so devoid of
clue that, until you learn, you deserve a wall all to yourself.

I wonder how many systems you've destroyed with your 'advice'? One day,
someone's going to sue you because they believed you knew what you were on
about.

Now, I suggest you either go on a course to learn at least the basics and
then, when you have proven you have a clue, you may return; or, if you don't
wish to do that don't bother ever posting here again because, from now on,
every dangerous and misleading post you make is being reported to MS. OTOH,
there is evidence that you wish to deliberately cause harm: -

1) You always post via the CDO (which means only MS can log your IP)

2) You never return to any thread in which you've posted.

3) Your 'advice', as well as being dangerous, is so poorly written that
it could be easily misconstrued. I suggest you take remedial English along
with that computer class. You obviously never attended any English lessons
at school (though I'm making another big assumption that you ever went to
school...)

So, Andrew, your choice. You either put up and take some advice - or you
shut up and never post again. It's entirely up to you.

To the OP: - I cannot assist you but, then, neither can Andrew the Eejit.
This is a warning to you not to heed the advice of Andrew the Eejit, unless
you have checked it with a knowledgeable source first. It appears that his
sole aim in life is to destroy as many systems as possible.

Hi Doug,

What does it bring up?

Have you tried right-clicking the taskbar and clicking on "lock the taskbar"
if it is currently checked?

Have you run any antispyware applications lately, as odd behavior is often
attributed to the infestation of a system by these programs. Try:

Adaware www.lavasoft.de
Spybot www.safer-networking.org

So what, in your book, is a "decent answer"? If warning someone not to heed
the advice of a known poster of bad advice isn't, then I really don't know
what is. You, of course, would rather have him heed Andrew the Eejit's
'advice' and screw up his system...

Now, please stay in my killfile, troll...
