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, 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. |

No guarantees, but did you try 'Removing'/re-installing your video drivers
to see if that helped? See my reply to Rowf in the 'general' group Mart "Alan" wrote in message ... I am having a problem where after boot-up normally I am unable to view the contents of any folders.

Copy of my original post Rowf - plus a bit extra at the end:-
"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." BTW - have you updated IE recently? Although usually only affecting the left-hand pane in Windows Explorer it * might* also be worth having a look at these two KB articles:- PIP: Missing Contents of Left Pane, Missing Graphics in Project, or "Invalid Page Fault" Error Message http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;281915 and note the solution of 'Repairing' Internet Explorer!! Windows Explorer Does Not Display Item's Contents in Right Pane http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;179875 HTH and good luck Mart "Alan" wrote in message ... -----Original Message----- No guarantees, but did you try 'Removing'/re-installing your video drivers to see if that helped?
