Graphic driver software maybe? For handling dual screens. I would die if that had to happen to me. :)

This must be the latest MS response to all the complaints about the Start screen! :laugh:

I've got it. It's right here. Safe, for now. Small, unmarked bills, or I change the label to "tart", and send you the "S" in a brown envelope.

1. Are you sure it's not a virus? I don't have the problem and I believe that updates just downloaded a few days back. 2. Is your Windows copy legal?

Of course, of course... OH.. wait. I got the solution, there was an exception occuring in explorer during startup, which prevented the initialization of the start menu,

Golden rule of working with Microsoft products (specially OS). "When in doubt, restart" ;P

Thanks, Milind

i.e. "Have you tried switching it off and on again?"

Or the golden rule when considering Microsoft Products. 'If in doubt, find an alternative solution.'

I'd say that Ctrl+Esc might be viable.

Yes, I know. :( Never hurts to do some preliminary searching to avoid long-term software lock-in which has always been the downside to choosing Microsoft solutions.
