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

      IronScheme
      ((λ (x) `(,x ',x)) '(λ (x) `(,x ',x)))

              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,

                                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.
