When I click on the start orb I get a message saying 'some start menu items
cannot be displayed'

How can I correct the issue and prevent this message from being displayed?

It would depend on what you find 'missing' from this new start menu. There
may be some shortcuts on it that point at folders that no longer permit
access. Usually it's an old app that has 'hardwired' a path to '/Documents
and Settings' (instead of "/Users"). You can rewrite the path using an
environmental variable. ( like %userprofile%/Documents/ or whatever)

Right click the Start Orb. Select Properties. On the Start Menu tab, press the
Customize button. Set the "Number of recent..." spinner to a smaller number
until the message goes away when you press the Start Orb.

Your answer has nothing to do with that message.

It is a simple Start Menu properties tweak.
