    Drop-Down menus won't stay open


    Any time I try to open a drop-down menu it open for about a second and before I can move my cursor to click on anything the drop-down menu closes. I had this problem before and I was instructed to delete a specific line in the Registry. It totally solved my problem, but I can't remember how to do this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Found the solution. I just unplugged my wireless mouse, waited 10 seconds, then plugged it back into the usb plug and it fixed the problem. Much easier than fooling with the registry.

    DUDE! Thank you so very much!!! This has happened to me on two different occasions over the last year and I ended up formatting both times. I never thought the fix would have been this easy!

    Again, thanks a TON!!

I noticed this earlier today: all drop down menus are blank. For example, the run drop down menu throws up a blank white box that I can't scroll through. Nothing is highlighted, and there are no entries at all. The same is true when I press CNTRL+O for all programs. I can browse through...
Hi all, Don't know what I did. Didn't install any new software or updates or drivers. While surfing the web the drop down menus at Newegg.com fail to work in regular IE8. They work fine in InPrivate browsing using IE8 and while using Firefox they also work. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
