Start menu disappears
My pop-up start menu disappears after a few seconds, not long enough to get
the cursor to the shortcut I need. TIA. |

Start menu disappears
Maybe something running in the background is causing the problem. Do you
regularly scan with up to date antivirus and spyware programs? It could also be that the menu speed is set too fast--see next paragraph. As a work around, you could install TweakUI and one of its tweaks causes the menu not to do anything until the user left clicks on something. For example, you could hover over Programs but the Programs' menu would not appear until you left clicked on Programs. Once Tweak is installed, go to the Mouse tab, Menu Speed, and set the slowest speed. Note: you could also experiment and see if the Menu Speed is just set too fast. Tweak UI is available from: http://www.microsoft.com/ntworkstati.../NTTweakUI.asp Right-click the TweakUI .inf file and select install. Should a notice appear saying a disk is required, click OK and another screen appears. Click browse, go to the folder containing Tweak and click OK and OK. -- Regards Ron Badour, MS MVP for W98 Tips: http://home.satx.rr.com/badour Knowledge Base Info: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?pr=kbinfo "Mark Dunn" wrote in message ...

Thanks Ron, your ideas pointed me towards bleepingcomputer.com where my
nasties were removed by a nice Belgian whom I rewarded with a virtual beer. "Ron Badour" wrote in message ... Maybe something running in the background is causing the problem.
