After modifying some code and during testing I was receiving errors in parts of the program uneffected by the code changes which should not have occured. The code changes were minor and have no effect on the operating system. I decided not to save the changes and rebooted. After rebooting, when I click on the "Start" key (in Windows 2000 Pro), the key stays depressed and the menu does not appear. There are no problems using desktop icons or starting programs from task manager. I checked the event log and there are no errors. I have not installed any new applications or made any modifications to the register or my profile (local - no roaming). I also tried logging in as a different user, logging into the network and locally, with the same result. Is there away to check the state of the "Start" key or dump some log file to find out what's going on?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
