Lost hover function on All Programs

[Guest news.zen.co.uk]

Hi

 

This is probably an easy fix...at least i hope it is. The problem is that

normally as you hover over All Programs on the Start menu, it would bring up

your list of programs. Mine has stopped doing that now, and requires a

click.

 

Pretty minor, but irritating.

 

Anyone know if this is just a question of resetting a key in the registry,

or something simple like that?

 

Any help much appreciated!

right click the start menu button

properties

start menu

customize

advanced

chckbox 'Open submenus when I pause on them'

ok & apply, out

 

if already checked, uncheck, ok & apply out then go back in and check it

again

Thanks, AlmostBob.

It was already set to that. Tried unsetting, and then resetting it back, but

it's still the same.

Cheers for that, but it didn't make any difference on any of the available

settings i'm afraid.

Cheers, yes, I did. No difference :( i'm wondering if it's a registry

thing.

Since the only thing active is the mouse, try reinstalling your mouse

driver.
