Folder Name Issues In Vista

I've had my computer just under a week and i'm already having issues with
files/folders not displaying their names. This only happens in my personal
folder from the start menu, it doesn't however if I go through the C:/ drive
and to my files, all the file names are there. I'm just wondering how do i
get them back.

Im running Vista Home Premium (32bit) and when i click customize this
folder... a dialogue box pops up saying the properties for this item are
unavailable.

Hope someone can help me.

Squirrlehunter,

This tutorial addresses folder options in Vista which may assist you
with your issue. The link is here:
http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/11...e-disable.html

In the beginning of the tutorial it suggests running a virus scan.
Here's a link to a free virus scanner to be sure your system is not
infected with anything:

'AVG Free Advisor - Free antivirus and anti-spyware downloads'
(http://free.grisoft.com/)

I hope this helps.

Thank you for your links, but unfortunatly they didn't solve my problem. When
the service pack is released ill install that and see if that fixes it. f not
ill continue my search.

Thank you anyway
