My start button in Vista doesn't work!

I've had a look through the forums and tried the things suggested t
other people (such as regedit and removing none-needed shell add ons
but nothing has helped.

The button works if set back to classic mode but I really want to avoi
having to live like that or having to re-install Vista.

I've rolled back a week but that hasn't helped - the only softwar
change I've had is swapping AVG to Avast! - No hardware changes.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

Try removing Avast to see if its not the culprit. Since the Start button
works in Classic, navigate to Accessories, right click Command Prompt, click
'Run as Administrator' at the command prompt, type SFC /SCANNOW to see if it
will resolve any problem with system files and settings.
