Disappearing menu when right-clicking icons on taskbar

[PEN]

Hi all.

I wonder if anyone's come across this problem of a disappearing menu when right-clicking icons on taskbar. I see the menu then as soon as I navigate to it, it disappears. It's the same when I leftclick theshow hidden icons button.

It's hard to explain so I've taken a little video of the problem.

TIA for any help

Hello Pen, and welcome to Seven Forums.

That is strange. I have a couple of questions though.

What build number of Windows 7 are your using?

Did you do a clean install when you installed Windows 7?

If you create another account as a test, does it work properly in it?

Hi,

I'm using win7 32-bit evaluation build 7100.

It's an upgrade not a fresh install. I've just done a reinstall (upgrade) and it's still happening.

As suggested, I've created a new user and it doesn't seem to happen there. stranger and stranger.

I get the easiest workaround is to replicate the current user to that new user identity.

Cheers

Yep, that would be the easiest way to just copy the contents of the old user account's C:\Users\(user name) folder into the corresponding new accounts C:\Users\(user name) folder. Be sure to also include the contents of the hidden folders there as well.

Will do.

Thanks!
