Whenever i click my start menu, the menu fades in lagging. But when i minimize any running applications and open another such as My Computer and try clicking it again, it comes up smoothly. Why thats happening?
 
What are your computer specifications?

You could have too many programs open at once, try removing unused programs. How much RAM do you have?
 
maybe a virus, I have this also last time but when I click my start menu my antivirus says "virus found unable to clean". try scanning first with a good AV
 
I don't think its a virus or neither a system problem.. I have 256mb of ram but if you read my situation again then when i run firefox or even minimize it, Start Menu popups lagging but when i open up My Computer additionally then the start menu becomes normal & smooth.. so its probarly something else
 
2.0ghz celeron and 256mb DDR Kingston ram and i guess 256mb is good enough to make menus popup properly, and it is.. read all the posts and the topic again and you'll understand
 
I'm not sure in your situation what the exact problem may be since it sounds like it lags if it's the first thing that is opened. You could try a system defrag and maybe run a registry cleaner. Other than that, you can try this tweak just to see if it helps.

Go to START>RUN.
Type in "regedit" w/o quotes.
Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER>CONTROL PANEL>DESKTOP

There, on the right you should look for a key called MENUSHOWDELAY. Double click on it. It's default is 400. You can change it to something like 50. What this does is speeds up the start menu load time, so it's worth a try.
