XP Pro

I had that happen on one of my laptops a while back. When I would right-click the Start menu and programs menu would close themselves. I had never heard of it happening before, never found a fix for it either.

I've seen this too, and like Mark, I never found a fix other than reinstall.

Not another reinstall...Arg!

I wouldn't upgrade a system with a previous operating system to XP Pro. I tried it and it never worked as well as a clean install. The upgrade install left all sorts of junk, from the previous OS, on my system too. I wiped my hard drive and used the boot disks from Microsoft to perform the install. It might work for you too.

NO MORE INSTALLS!...They scare me

Scary is being in your bedroom with the door closed and hearing a rattlesnake's tail clicking. Scary is camping and hearing the roar of a hungry lion outside your tent. Sheesh, come on Wimpy, you can do it.

Fresh out, and broke

Then it looks like you're going to settle for a broken OS and no right click menu. (Or, don't he know that if it don't work right, right out of the box, then its broken.)

Egh... I'll just have to settle with it ufntil I get the courage to start over again

Forgive me for mentioning this, you are clicking on an item and not a blank portion of the menu correct?

Reply #18 September 10, 2004 3:36 PM from WinCustomize Forums Top

Erg... yeah?

I'm not that dumb...I hope?

Reply #19 September 10, 2004 3:51 PM from WinCustomize Forums Top

Had to ask, I had done it in the past!

I'll hunt around.
