>>Here's the real problem.

>>When I install my app on a local disk all is OK.

>>When I install my application to a network drive, all is ok except I have to click 5-10 times on a top-level menu item before it will drop down.

>>I have tried removing all of the skip for clauses from the menu, but there is no improvement, so that's not the problem.

>>Once I have selected a menu option the app is fine, all screens seem to respond quickly as expected. Then I have the same problem next time I want to select a menu option.

A SWAG just occurred to me - what interrupt is your rodent on, and does it share that IRQ with the network or video card?
