This program is affecting only my laptop and one other desktop at the company.
Upon moving the mouse over the 'All programs' arrow, it does not expand to show 'Windows Update', 'Accesories' etc.

Some users also complain about the speed whenever they have to access the server. We are running Windows 2000 with Active Directory.

create a new account on the laptop and pc to see if the problem is a os problem or a corrupt profile/user setting problem.

And let me know.

I tried logging in with different machines. In the end I just restarted the server and everything started working, except my laptop which still doesn't expand, but I figure my domain profile may be corrupted. My local logon is fine.

MicroSoft says to do the following to ensure that the option is properly set:

To change the way All Programs opens from the Start menu

Right-click the Start button, and then click Properties.

On the Start Menu tab, click Start menu, and then click Customize.

On the Advanced tab, select the Open submenus when I pause on them with my mouse check box.

The next time you click Start, and point to All Programs, you see a list of available programs.
