Dear Friends,
When i click the start button the start menu, the menu opens, but after a few seconds it just closes itself. Also this happens in case of All Programs also. I scanned with anti spyware but nothing detected. My os is win 7 32 bit. Sometimes it works normal Pl help.
Have you tried doing a System Restore before this problem occured?
System Restore
We like said the same answer at the same time :P
Yes, I tried system restore also. It happens for sometimes only.
You may have pressed F11 at some point by mistake, which auto-hides your Task bar and therefore Start menu:
Right-Click Taskbar > Properties > Taskbar tab;
Make sure the auto-hide box is unchecked.
Hope this helps,
Harry
Dear Mr. Harry,
Thank u for replying.
There is no tick mark in Auto Hide taskbar check box. Also pl note that start icon (windows Logo) is visible but start menu flashes for milliseconds when I click this logo or All programs tab.
You may want to use System File Checker, which is Windows diagnostic tool:
SFC /SCANNOW within Command Prompt (Use Brink's tutorial to help you)
Tutorial - SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker
This will check for any corrupted system files, which may be causing the Start Menu to disappear, and will take around 30 minutes to complete. You may need to insert your Windows installation disc.
Tried system file checker with and without win7 dvd. No problems found. Still same problem.
Try the following;
Right click the Start Orb (the round button with the Windows flag) and select "Properties" from the ensuing menu. Next, select the "Start Menu" tab at the top, select "Customize..." and at the bottom of the "Customize" menu select "Use Default Settings"; see attachment. Then reboot the system.
No guarantees on this solving the problem!
Do you have any third party themes installed or anything that modifies the login screen or windows behavior?
