    Right click in All Programs lasts for a second


    Heya,

    I'm having a problem with the start menu. When I go into All Programs and right click on a program or folder, the menu lasts for one second then the start menu closes, but it does not select anything or do anything. I don't even have time to actually click something.

    Any help or suggestions would be very much appreciated, or ask if I'm not making myself clear.
    Thx

    Hello Hdk,

    Hope this helps,

    Nope, I'm afraid it does not. I have restarted several times and it still happens.

    Ok. If available, you can try a system restore using a restore point dated before this problem started.

    I was afraid it would come to tha, but I think restoring is probably the only way to get it back to normal. Thanks anyway
