    hi,
    if you have a restore point of start menu was working then you can use system restore to take your system back to that point.take more help from "Help and Support" for system restore.If the system restore works, you may have some updates to install, but that's pretty easy. If it doesn't, you can restore your system back to now, and try something else.

    Do you check for, and remove, Spyware?Spyware includes(Adware, Dialers, Browser Hijackers, Trojans, Cookies,Key Loggers, Trackware, and other Malware while browsing the internet.)Most Virus and Spyware scans are likely to work better in Windows Safe-Mode.

    Re: Freezing Start Menu Button

    which Start Menu are you using, the standard WM or the HTC Large Menu? I use the HTC version & have never seen this before.My solution for working around this is simply to turn the screen off then on again (using the power button). It is much faster than waiting for a soft reset to boot back up.
