Classic Shell: Forum

Hello,

Sometimes I have the shell, sometimes I don´t. I tried the "repair" option already, but after the next boot the same appears again.

In addition to the missing shell I have the following popup window EVERYTIME I boot my PC:

I am running WIN 8.1 64bit, upgraded from WIN8.0. I have an I7 processor running.

Please help me somehow as it really sucks to have this windows every time my Pc is booting.

Thank you in advance!

Your Start menu is crashing. Please capture a crash dump using these instructions: http://www.classicshell.net/forum/viewt ... p?f=12&t=6 . Upload/attach the crash dump here to this post.

I am a Windows enthusiast and helped a little with Classic Shell's testing and usability/UX feedback.

Looks like the crash is in ClassicStartMenu.exe instead of Explorer.exe. So when running procdump use the command "procdump -e classicstartmenu.exe".

[Post moved to a new thread; it is unrelated to the above.]

It is possible that the start button is simply behind the taskbar. As a test try a start button that is larger than the taskbar and then you can see if it is behind or really missing.
