Problem with Vista

    I'm having problems with Windows Vista on a Dell Inspiron 1525.

    There are two user accounts, but the problem is only happening for one user. What happens is when I try to open anything from the right hand side of the start menu, it will bring the window up for just an instant, then it will dissappear immediately, as if I had closed the window. This also happens when I try to open the recycle bin from the desktop, though all the other desktop icons (IE, works etc.) work fine.

    The only difference I can think of between the two user accounts is that the account with the problem is used to play Football Manager 2008.

    As far as security goes,we have McAfee. We recently got invaded by "PC-Antispyware" but managed to delete it. Just a few minutes ago, McAfee deleted a trojan too apparently..... Dunno if any of this is relevant but no harm throwing it out there! :)

    If anyone could help sort this problem I'd really appreciate it - also I'm not that knowledgeable about computers so try to dumb it down a bit if possible :p
