| 239060 | 2004-05-24 20:06:00 | It's not a problem, but when I click on the button to drop down topic in Start-Run dialog box, a slim rectangular bar 2.5cm x 8cm approx, shoots up from the box and blanks that part of the desktop out. Weird! I've had this ever since I've had PC. Any answers why? Pete | dinerouk (4690) | ||
| 239061 | 2004-05-24 20:15:00 | Correction: It's .7cm wide. Pete | dinerouk (4690) | ||
| 239062 | 2004-05-24 21:45:00 | What version of Windows are you running? Does this bar prevent you from selecting anything in the Run dialogue box? What happens if you press the Down arrow key on your keyboard instead of using the mouse? | tommy (2826) | ||
| 239063 | 2004-05-25 06:27:00 | Hi Tommy 1 . What version of Windows are you running? 2 . Does this bar prevent you from selecting anything in the Run dialogue box? 3What happens if you press the Down arrow key on your keyboard instead of using the mouse? 1 . Win XP 2 . No 3 . As of now it brings up the last item run, in this case 'regedit' . To be more specific this bar seems mainly to appear when the cache is empty and there's no item to select in dialog box . At the moment clicking on the arrow brings up the only selection in cache-'regedit' |

| 239064 | 2004-05-25 11:15:00 | I am afraid I do not have an answer to this pecularity as I have not heard of anything like it before. It could possibly be related to a program that you have or perhaps something going on in the background, eg a virus, spyware or similar, although that is unlikely if the problem has been there since the computer was new. Sorry that I cannot offer any explanation. | tommy (2826) | ||
| 239065 | 2004-05-25 17:37:00 | Yes it is unusual and rare I suppose. Thanks anyway for replies. Pete | dinerouk (4690) | ||
