Hi folks,
Classic Start Menu works like a dream on my two 64-bit Windows 7 machines but not on my 32-bit machine. No matter how many times I restart, uninstall, re-install, repair, etc, ClassicStartMenu.exe will never run. I've changed every option in security permissions and compatability types, but it won't work. Using a process explorer I can see that when I click it the .exe shows up for a few seconds, along with two instances of "com surrogate", then just disappears. I've tried using regsvr32 on all of the DLL's in the installed directory, and the only one which won't register is - you guessed it - ClassicStartMenuDLL.dll. I downloaded ProcDump, and though it won't actually create a dump file (?!) it does say "Exception 000006D9" when I hit Ctrl-C after ClassicStartMenu doesn't run. The other executables - ClassicExplorerSetting.exe, ClassicIE_32.exe, and ClassicShellUpdate.exe - all run fine. It's just the darn start menu. I've turned off all of my antivirus programs. I've shutdown Zonealarm and even created custom entries in it for the Classic Shell executables. Nothing works.
Is the ClassicStartMenuDLL.dll corrupted? That's my guess since RegSvr gives an error with it. I've downloaded the installer multiple times and it gives me no errors when installing, so I don't think I downloaded a corrupted installer. However, the program just won't work.
Please help!
