Start Menu Not working

[Guest wilewea]

OK I click start and it opens fine, mouse over "all programmes" and my

programmes appear but when I mouse over them they don't turn blue anymore and

when I click or double click nothing happens. At the same time this started

my keyboard won't work on an MMO I play. Anyone have any ideas?

Re: Start Menu Not working

 

First try this fix from Microsoft:

 

You Are Unable to Start a Program with an .exe File Extension

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q310585/

 

^Above as a registry file:

 

1. Copy below and paste into Notepad:

 

----------copy inside only----------

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

 

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\exefile\shell\open\command]

@="\"%1\" %*"

 

----------copy inside only----------

 

2. Save-as Exe_Fix.reg (or any name + .reg)

 

3. Double-click or right-click and merge into the registry.

 

4. Restart your computer.

 

 

If that does not work, try this one:

 

Merge this registry file to restore exe file association:
