XP start menu problem

[IanM]

hello, i have a problem that sometimes occurs on my windows XP home PC.
Sometimes, rarely, if I click on the Start button the menu appears as normal
but all sub-menus cannot be built and the PC beeps. One of my quicklaunch
icons also changes to a default windows icon. A reboot fixes the problem.
Anybody know how to cure this?

Thanks

Ian

Boot to the XP setup CD, and press 'r' for recovery console, run the command : CHKDSK /R

Hi Mark,

I am intrigued to know why you think that would work? Are you under the
impression my hard disk is corrupted?
