My start button has stopped working. Every time I attempt to select it, it crashes (doesn't bring computer down, though).

This also occurs if I try to access it by pressing the windows key, or if I try to navigate using win explorer to get to thefolder containing the start menu contents. Explorer crashes.

Is there anything I can do short of a reinstall? I tried to do a "repair" installation, didn't work.

Thanks.

Thanks for your effort, but that was not my problem. My registry is correct (according to your link). My problem is that whenever I try to access the start menu, whether by clicking the "Start" button, choosing the "Windows" key, or navigating to the folder using windows explorer, I get a crash in explorer.exe.

Can explorer (only) be reinstalled?
