| I reinstalled Vbox with all features and have the problem again. I renamed the file to ClassicStartMenu2.exe and rebooted. Everything worked OK except for the fact that there is no CSM start menu. btw... where the heck do you autostart CSM from? I can't find it in the usual places. Did you use some ... |

| Unchecking "Highlight newly installed programs" is what's causing the highlight to stay. I don't want to highlight new programs and I don't want the App entry to always be highlighted. |

| Great catch! Just to make sure I understand - this is a driver installed on the host machine, not in the VM, right? Is the host 32-bit or 64-bit? What version of VBox are you using? I will try to repro. Yes, the driver is on the host machine. Host is W8 Pro 64-bit. Vbox version is the latest: April... |

| It appears that the problem is caused by Oracle VirtualBox. Specifically the driver \SystemRoot\system32\DRIVERS\VBoxNetFlt.sys. Disabling this driver of the 4 Vbox drivers fixes the problem. Unfortunately with this driver disabled I have no Internet connection on my machine. I uninstalled VBox and ... |

| From msconfig I set the option to do a Diagnostic Startup and restarted my machine. The problem in this post went away as did the Apps entry always being highlighted. It was highlighted until I ran one of the Apps. At first I disabled all my non-MS start ups and services. That did not work. The Diag... |

| I thought the problem might be related to using Faststart. So I deleted my Hibernate file which in affect disables FastStart. Now A power off/power on doesn't work either. |

| It would still be great if you can capture a dump. I have to find out where exactly it is hanging. Do you have any other start menu software that might interfere? I have ModernMix. ***** I disabled MM and still had the problem with CSM. I can't get Procdump to run. I guess things are too frozen. Al... |

| It appears so far that this problem only happens on a restart of Windows. A complete shutdown of my rig and then a power up works as expected so far. |

Hovering over this taskbar I got the busy pointer. Clicking on it I got the message that Windows is not responding so I ended it. I was then thrown... |

I'm using the Windows Aero skin in two column mode. The first column seems way too wide. I looked but can't fins a way to decrease the width. Can this be done?
Also in previous versions of CSM I could move Apps under All Programs. I can't seem to do this with 3.9. |

| Can P and F be an option on the 'Customize Start Menu'? I'd like to keep it in the second column. I can only place it in the first column. This has always been the case with all CSM versions afaikt. |

| First off I installed CSM 3.9 over the production version. A one column display still shows all the programs I added. A two column display shows no programs on the left side. However, under 'All Programs' they are all still there and all I need is to pin them to the CSM start menu to get them back. ... |

Great Skin. The only thing I don't like about it is the large empty border around the menu, sub-menu, flyouts, etc. In this regard can you make your skin look the the Metro skin that comes with CS?
**** Modified it myself with ResHack. |
