Hi all.

I've following problem(s) on my WinXP-Prof. SP1 (en with de mui):

I see "Search" in my Start Menu, but if I click it, nothing happens.
I see "Run..." in my Start Menu, but if I cklick it, nothing happens.
I see "Help and Support" in my Start Menu, but if I cklick it, nothing happens.

(another user (german mui) on the same PC can access at least "Suchen" (search)

Under All Programs I was able to right-click a program folder and explore it - this is also nit working anymore.

Does anybody has a clue?

Sincerly

Some more facts:
Hmm, "Win" + R and "Win" + F and "Win" + H are working
Rightclick on "My Computer" - Search is working as well
Other Users are working

Only with my User Account and clicking the icons in "Start Menu" nothing happens

=> I guess, it's somwhere in the registry under HKCU...
....does anybody know, where the definition of this icons is stored and what there should be by default?

Thanks in advance

Hi all.

I've got the solution:
It seems, I had a Problem with Nvidia 52.16 - Since I've disabled the
DesktopManager,
I can see "Run.." "Search" and "Help and Support" again...

The reason seems to be my 2nd Desktop for my TV-OUT - I've played around
with those
settings, perhaps this Info will help others as well?

Cheers,
Hausi

Nvidia Version 53.03 didn't really help (the funtions are available only
randomly), but I've fount the real "fault":
TraySaver B10 was the guilty - Run, Search und "Help and Support" are
working well again after removing TraySaver
