When I right click the start button and click search I
get the error message "There was a problem sending the
command to the program." But I can search from the
programs menu by left clicking on the Start button. Any
=body heard of this problem?
 
Did some internet searching and found out the latest
update to Zone Alarm is causing the problem. Whenever I
disable Zone Alarm, the problem goes away.
 
If you are using ZoneAlarm, allow Windows Explorer access to internet. If this does not help, remove and reinstall ZA.
