I am having the same problem as stated below, (VISTA, IE8) but the answer is
too complicated for me and this
site http://windowsxp.mvps.org/ie/redxorg.htm (When you click the Organize
Favorites submenu under Favorites menu, the Organize Favorites dialog opens,
but a Red X mark may be present where the Favorites list is to be displayed.
Resolution
Fix for Internet Explorer 7 and above
Download ieframe-fix.zip, unzip and run the enclosed REG file. The REG file
restores the missing/incorrect values in the following registry location:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT \ CLSID \ {55136805-B2DE-11D1-B9F2-00A0C98BC547}

Fix for Internet Explorer 6 does not work for me in
Vista IE 8 ( I can't get it to unzip). If I could get a simpler answer, I
would appreciate it

Hi,
Here's the registry key in ieframe-fix.zip

Copy the text between the "=" (don't copy the "=" ) Paste that text into a
notepad document.

Save as ieframe-fix.txt.

Rename it to ieframe-fix.reg

Right-click ieframe.reg and merge it.

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{55136805-B2DE-11D1-B9F2-00A0C98BC547}]
@="Shell Name Space"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{55136805-B2DE-11D1-B9F2-00A0C98BC547}\InProcServer

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{55136805-B2DE-11D1-B9F2-00A0C98BC547}\MiscStatus\1

endentProgID]
@="ShellNameSpace.ShellNameSpace"

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

Hope this helps,
