All, I'm running Classic Shell 4.0.2 on windows 8.1 which is installed via Parallels. on the new Retina Macbook Pro 13". I use "Classic with two columns" and I unchecked the "Replace start button flag". Each time when I press the start button the PC hangs and gives a delay. after 20-30 seconds the start menu pops-up. Any idea what can be wrong? |

Is it the entire PC or just Explorer? For example, if you have a Notepad opened, can you still type in it during the 20-30 second hang? |

It looks like more that the "taskbar" hangs and I can use the program which is open. In this case I was able to write this message during "hanging" of the taskbar after start count. |

OK. So then you can capture a dump using the procdump program while the taskbar is frozen. Click on the "How to capture crash dumps" link at the top. Attach the dumps here. |

Btw, are you running Parallels in coherence mode, where it hides the Windows 7 desktop and taskbar and puts the Start button on the OS X dock? |

It seems to be stuck on trying to fetch the timestamp on some program in the start menu. Do this: 1) Open regedit and go to HKCU\Software\IvoSoft\ClassicStartMenu\Settings 2) Create a new DWORD value named "LogLevel" and set it to 6 3) Log off, log in 4) Open an Explorer window on %APPDATA%\ClassicShell 5) Open the start menu, wait for it to open, then close it 6) In Explorer look for a file named StartMenuLog.txt. Rename it to StartMenuLog1.txt, zip it, and attach here 7) Set LogLevel to 0 in the registry so no more log files are created |

No. You need HKEY_Current_User |
