Topic Starter	Topic: Right click menus layering over the top of each other

What I mean is.. when I right-click on a folder and select 'play in winamp', it does, but it also invokes the windows 'move' dialog box.. both at the same time. Checked the file associations, they're fine. Also, right-clicking on programs in the task bar cause the native windows taskbar to show up.... clicking off then coming back a second time gives the correct taskbar. This is a bit of a headache. What's more, it's happened across several reformats now.. after installing all my gubbins it starts showing up again, but I have no idea where it's coming from. Any ideas...cheers. _________________ "Maybe you have some bird ideas. Maybe that’s the best you can do." ― Terry A. Davis

Second problem of overlapping menus on the taskbar continues _________________ "Maybe you have some bird ideas. Maybe that’s the best you can do." ― Terry A. Davis

If i then left click on the desktop and try again, it brings up the relevant menu... wtf? _________________ [size=85]

Any similarities? _________________ "Maybe you have some bird ideas. Maybe that’s the best you can do." ― Terry A. Davis
