Submenus don't expand in Start menu

[Oodini]

Hello,

I've just installed (for the first time) Windows XP, and I've got a (big)
trouble with the Start menu. When I go in this menu, I cannot expand any
submenu inside. I keep the pointer on the item, I even click, but notthing
happens.
I updated with WindowsUpdate, but same. Any idea ??

Thanks a lot.

Did you do a upgrade from another OS or did you install a clean Version
of WinXP?

As my XP CD can install only from an other OS (?), I had to install Windows
2000, and next Windows XP, with a "clean" install (as said in the setup
process).

I suppose you have already heard about this problem to ask me that ??

You will probably have to reinstall most of the programs you were
using in Win2000. If you still have the
Win2000 CD then you can do a clean install using a WinXP Upgrade CD.
No need to install over Win2K. Check here for further info. Scroll down
to the applicable paragraphs.
