If it's Vista, I don't help. I have no Vista machine to test out what will happen.

If it's XP, I can help.

Try one thing for me. Go to this website: http://www.orkut.com

If you receive no errors, then good.

Then looks OK.

XP can try this registry fix:

Open Notepad and copy and paste the bold parts into Notepad:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\Folder\Hidden\SHOWALL]
"CheckedValue"=dword:00000001

Click on File > Save As

Save it fix.reg

Select All Files from the drop down list.

Click Save.

Then double click to run it.

Make sure your Notepad is maximized while copying and pasting it in.
