SYMPTOMS
When you right-click a channel on the Channel bar, the context menu may close before you can click a command.



CAUSE
This behavior can occur if Internet Explorer 4.01 Service Pack 1 is installed and a program window is selected as the active window.

For example, if Internet Explorer is running and is the active window and you right-click a channel on the Channel bar, the context menu may close before you can click a command.



RESOLUTION
To work around this behavior, click a blank area on the desktop, and then right-click a channel on the Channel bar.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Internet Explorer 4.01 Service Pack 1 and Windows 98.
