missing icons

[larrycleve]

An odd problem developed with win me. When my computer is opened the drives are shown. When the c drive is opened a blank window opens that says 35 objects on the bottom. Also control panel opens to a blank window. Windows explorer shows the folders in the c drive in the left window but not the right. When a folder is opened in the left window the contents are shown on the right. If my computer is opened in safe mode everything shows normally. I tried deleting shelllconcache but it didn't work. Any ideas as to what to look for? Thanks, Larry.

i've been having the same problems since my computer was crippled by the KLEZ worm. i'd suggest scanning your computer with TrendMicro's online anti-virus at http://housecall.trendmicro.com/housecall/start_corp.asp

if you check out okay then i'd boot up with your Windows OS CD and have it automatically repair your hard drive's system elements for you.

you may have to configure BIOS so that your first boot drive is your CD-ROM drive, as it usually is your floppy that comes first in booting.
