start menu "lost"

D

debbie

I have been asked to look at a laptop for a school as it
is not working properly. It is running windows 2000
professional. When it boots up I can log on, but when I
click start the start button remains depressed and no menu
appears. I have tried reinstalling win2000pro from the
disk, I followed the upgrade option, rather than the
complete reinstall as I didn't want to lose all my
installed programs, but the problem was not fixed. Any
ideas anyone? Thanks.
