An easier les techy (and better)solution You can use this tip to speed up the way menus display in Windows XP. Click Start, click Control Panel, click Performance and Maintenance, and the click System. Click the Advanced tab, and under Performance, click the Settings button. Clear the Fade or slide menus into view check box, and then click OK. Now when you bring up a collapsed menu, it will expand without delay. Or switch to Redhat
