Start Menu Problem

[PapaJon]

I recently formatted my hd and re-installed XP Pro.

Problem: When i click "Start", then "Run" or "Search"
or "Help and Support"... nothing happens... It appears
that those three icons, in the lower right side of the
Start Menu are dead. What happens is that when i first
boot up windows... they work fine... but as soon as I
start another application. They will no longer work until
i reboot again.

Is there a simple fix for this?

This was not a problem prior to re-installation.

Any help is appreciated.

Thnx

Thanks Mohan for the suggestion.

I booted into safe mode... and the links all work fine in
safe mode. Booting back to normal mode.. the links still
do not work properly.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks PapaJon
