Hi!
I have a problem - no folders will open up on my computer. No matter if I
doubleclick on them or rightclick and choose "open".
It all started yesterday, I ran the windows XP disc to make sure I hadn't
lost any .dlls or something like that. At that point something happened and
my burner/cd/dvd-drive disappeared.

I did a systems restore and everything but the burner worked fine. Until
today, when all of a sudden the folders won't open again. I have no problem
opening up a program - it's just the folders.

Anyone "been there done that"? Or have any suggestions? Pleeeeease - I'm
stumped!
kisses&hugs
