No files in folders

I am having a problem where after boot-up normally I am unable to view the
contents of any folders. I have run stinger to check for viruses, search and
destroy spybot, adaware looking for viruses/trojans and the like.

It hasn't found anything. When I try to use the system restore, it tries to
open a page, but remains blank. I have tried using scanreg /fix, and it does
it's thing, and restarts the laptop, but same problem when it boots up
normally.

When I boot up in safe mode, I can see everything, but normal startup
nothing in any folder.

Any ideas would be appreciated!

I stand corrected, all that is in each folder is a single comma -- '

Odd that you can see them in Safe Mode but not in Normal Mode, which
suggests a video graphics adapter/driver issue.

Sounds like your Display Adapter driver is no longer being properly
recognised, is incorrectly set-up, or is corrupted.

Boot into Safe Mode and in Device Manager, 'Remove' any/all Display Adapters
and Monitors and then re-boot.
WinMe *should* re-detect (Plug&Play) your video card and monitor and then
should install the 'correct' drivers.

If it still doesn't help, you'll need to install the latest WinMe driver for
your Video Card (Adapter) which you should be available to download from the
card manufacturers web site.

HTH and good luck

Rowf,
I'm having the same problem. Were you able to get it
resolved? If so can you tell me how exactly you did it? I
would appreciate any help.
