When I open all programs >Microsoft Office, the programs in the office directory do not stay open long enough for me to click on them.
If I were THE FLASH, this woud not be a problem, however . . .I need help.

Are you clicking or double clicking?

Only single clicking. Now, when I try to rename a file, the menu does not stay open long enough
to click on anything.

Rename is in the right click of a file, what does it have to do with the Start menu?

That is a strange problem and seems to me that it is related to your mouse settings somehow. Try changing the speed of the double click and see if that helps. If it’s a wireless mouse maybe your cordless phone is too close or something; I’ve seen that issue rarely.

From the start – I click on the round Windows icon, bottom left, the menu opens.
I single click on let’s say Accessories, that opens up with all the programs, but brfore
I can double click or even single click, the menu shuts down. Does anyone know where
to set this speed or delay or whatever Microsoft calls it?

Thanks,

Ben

I do NOT use single click, so I hope some other single clicker can hop in here with some help.

I’m a single clicker I think but anyway, when I do exactly as you say the menu will stay open until I click something. I really think it’s a problem with your mouse and not necessarily the settings. Try using a different mouse or eliminate interference from cordless phone or ?? if it’s a cordless one.

It’s not the mouse cause the same thing happens when I remove the mouse and use the touch pad.
Also happens when I use the keyboard.

No cell phone or wireless phones within 20 feet.

That sounds like something is stealing focus before you can do anything, what background/Startup applications are running, Ben?

you didn’t list your computer specs, but my laptop will sometime jump like that because I’m pressing too hard with my palms. I’ll try to find the tweaking program I used to change the response time (delay) that opening list boxes, etc use. It might make it less jumpy.

Searched the registry for submenues, menudelay, list boxes. Did not find anything.
Would anyone know what the registry enry is for changing these settings?
