Has anyone ever come across this problem:

You run your Windows app and then click something from the menu (say FILE) and the drop down menu doesn't drop down! If you move the mouse down then the menu will drop down. I have this problem on my Windows 98 machine but on my Windows 2000 machine the exact same codes runs without this problem (even if it was compiled on the Win98 machine!!!)

I am at a loss to know what to do. Could it be a memory issue or a Windows problem? Doesn't have this problem on all apps, only some, but I can't seem to find the common thread.

Anyone got any ideas?

  I had the same problem. In my code I wasn't well operate WM_PAINT. I didn't use BeginPaint and EndPaint. Maybe it is wrong.
  You should find on the web program that would show you messages which windows sends to window.
