I had already tried to restore to an earlier date. That didn't work. But i
tried changing the "display properties" like you suggested and that worked. I
changed it to the "classic view" and then changed it back and the problem
disappeared.
Thanks. It wasn't so much that i couldn't work with it that way, it was just
annoying that i couldn't correct it.
Thanks again.
