Problems with StartMenu after install

Can't get StartMenu (in XP) to work now

July 31, 2005 5:49 PM from

Hello,

After installing an older version of WinFX 1.0 and now the newest version (trial) I am seeing the Window Start menu not work. I try turning off all of the options but it's still causing that, right after I exit WinFX the Start Menu is fine. Any ideas why?

BTW I'm using WinXP Pro SP2 with the Athlon64 3400+. I had used WinFX 1.2 with WinXP fine before upgrading to this processor, so I'm not sure if it's related.

Did you un-install the current one before you installed the newer one? If not, you might give that a try. Remove both and then re-install the newer one. Make sure you check for any folders that may get left behind, and remove those manually. Hope that helps.

No, didn't make a difference. I'm beginning to wonder if it has something to do with the 64-bit processor because in the past I've never had any trouble with the program. Oh well.

Fixed it. You have to disable PAE memory through the boot.ini file. Not a good option but at least it works now.
