Problem with Explorer not showing file & folder names

Fresh install, Vista Home Premium SP1

For some reason depending on the views I have Explorer in, file and folder
names may or may not show. I have attached 2 screenshots of the problem. In
icons view, there's no file and folder names but in every other view, such as
tiles, the file and folder names show up no problem.

It's the only folder I have this problem too... If anyone has a fix, I'd
love to hear it.

Hold the shift key down while you double click the folder to open it. That
toggles between displaying the file names and not.
