comp problem

from WinCustomize Forums
my computer does not show the file icons in the C: drive, or Control panel. they're there, but it shows no icon. My documents shows file icons, but for some reason just C: drive, and Control panel don't show anything. I've already tried setting the folder settings back to their defaults, but that did nothing. If you have any idea how i can fix it , post a response, thank you.

Are you using Icon Packager, what version of windows?

Puzzling, Control Panel icons can't usually be changed. I'm not too familiar with ME but if restarting windows doesn't work... I would try that go back feature that was promoted with ME. I think you can reload system settings from a point back when you knew things were working properly. You could also try downloading Icon Packager and loading a theme. Sorry couldn't be more help.

well, it's not just the icons that i can't see, it's the files too. nothing shows up in the C: drive window. it says there's files there, but they're not shown on the screen. I did try the system restore, but it gets half way through and restarts the computer. Then it takes me back into the system restore when it restarts, and says computer cannot restore system. The only other thing i can think of to do is reinstall windows, but i don't have a windows disk.
