st: Lost menu access to menu options version 8

[Bob Fitzgerald <bobf@pacbell.net>]

This is no doubt a simple problem (I being a simple guy!):

Using Intercooled v.8 for Windows, I can no longer click on the following 
menu options under Help:

Contents
What's New
News
Official Updates
SJ and User Written Programs

Clicking results in no action as far as I can determine. The other menu 
options work just fine (Search, Stata Command, Stata Website, and About 
Stata). Other menu options all appear to work (e.g., graphics, statistics, 
file, etc.). I can, in place of Official Updates, use qu update from the 
command line, and I can type "help" whatever I need help on, to access the 
help file. But this is less than completely satisfying. If anyone can 
suggest what might be wrong and a fix, short of reinstalling from the CD (a 
task that is admittedly not too onerous) I would be most appreciative.

Running on 2.8Ghz P4, 512k ram, and Nvidia GeForce TI video card though I 
can't see why the configuration would suddenly go blotto.

Thanks.

Regards,

Bob
