Classic Shell: Forum

I have a toshiba laptop [x875-7390] that has Windows 8 and worked as Win8 allowed. Otherwise perfectly

I installed classic shell and the system related menu functions seem to close before I can activate them.

Example:
I right click on the desktop, select <screen resolution>, and activate the drop down menu for screen resolution... it collapses before I can select anything

As I was typing this bug report, my browser was sent to the background and I had to use the mouse pointer to re-select the browser window.

It seems that the program interrupts Windows constantly?

screen resolution shouldn't have a drop-down menu by default?, if you mean click and opened an explorer window, and it closed? that would be explorer crashing

@browser being minimized while sending bug report;were you sending a Microsoft crash report maybe? or were you on a website (this?) typing a bug report?

@the program interrupting windows; nothing in classic shell as far as i know takes focus without a user input (pressing window key, or clicking the button), and it certainly doesn't minimize other windows; so if it this is the case, its defiantly a bug. Are you running anything else that may be affecting behavior aside from windows 8 and classic shell?
any other explorer toolbars? have you disabled the ribbon UI ect?

Looks like some program tries to take focus periodically. It might as well be the start menu, although it is not supposed to do that. Right-click on the start button and select Exit. See if that fixes it. Then launch ClassicStartMenu.exe and see if the problem starts again.

Sorry to blame your product. It was instant messenger. I closed that window and the resource hogging went

okay, something just put the browser to the background again... didnt

just did it again

stupid technology
