Windows 7 - Start Menu Freeze

Hi, I was wondering if anyone else has my problem. When I click on the start menu and then all programs, the list freezes while trying to load, but in actuality one of my dual cores goes to 100%, then the second one maxes out after a few seconds. To get rid of it, I have to click somewhere on the desktop and try to open something else until it can somehow let the start menu minimize. I tried to search this problem in the forums, but I didn't come across anything. I also hope that this thread could be posted in this topic.

I am using the 7048 Build, downloading the 7057 one thinking it may solve my problem.

Thanks,
LoVaC

No one has any idea what this problem could be, and how to resolve it? Please help me

Hello9 LoVaC,

Welcome to the Seven Forums.

I don't know what could cause this. You could try to fix are doing a restore to a point before the problem started. Info here if needed. System Restore

Please keep us posted.

Hey Gary, I actually gave that a try and it didn't work. Better yet, I just installed 7057 and it works perfectly compared to the build I previously mentioned, it sloved the problem Thanks for helping, I guess this is case closed, lol.

Glad you got it sorted out.

I'm having the same problem now with Build 7100. I didn't have this problem prior on the other builds. Is anyone else experiencing this??

I'm having this exact problem with my windows home premium, build 7600. The issue came completely out the blue when I got home from work earlier, booting up took way longer than usual aswell. I've no idea on how to troubleshoot an issue like this, all that comes to mind is virusvirusvirus, though my free AVG doesn't seem to find anything.

An additional note; Disconnect the dysfunctional HDD, problem still there and I'm no smarter. :-(

Is this a PC or a Laptop? What HDD problem do you have? What are you specs? Maybe you got a lot of things loading up at start up?
