So the problem was that you were setting an option and pressing the X button, as the OK button was not visible on the screen.
By default, the window is not maximized so you or some programs must have maximized it.

Make sure you are reproducing the problem after a restart. Then download the Classic Shell Utility from here: http://www.classicshell.net/downloads/ Run it and send me the log file. |

Maybe you are clicking on the hot corner. Go to Settings ->Windows 8 Settings tab and set disable active corners to All and on Controls tab, set left click opens to Classic Start Menu. Now try clicking the Start button. |

Exit the start menu (right-click on the start button, then Exit) Run regedit and go to HKCU\Software\IvoSoft\ClassicStartMenu\Settings Delete the value "MouseClick" Log off and log in. See if that makes a difference Also while you are in regedit, look at the permissions of the Settings key. It is possibly something is messed up and the settings fail to save to the registry. |

solved - thanks to the contributors the key word was ivosoft provided here by ivo - the advice was no help as the value "MouseClick" was not in the registry but now i knew where i could do a clean out searched and deleted all keys and values containing ivosoft an classicshell scoured the hard drive for similar did a reinstall and all is good what was wrong with the previous install was that the settings screen did not have an ok button - it was running maximised and no option to bring it down to a window so what ever setting i changed had no effect as the ok button was not able to be clicked the ok button should have been the subject of my OP thanks again |
