Folder Name Issues In Vista

[squirrlehunter]

I've had my computer just under a week and i'm already having issues with
files/folders not displaying their names. This only happens in my personal
folder from the start menu, it doesn't however if I go through the C:/ drive
and to my files, all the file names are there. I'm just wondering how do i
get them back.

Im running Vista Home Premium (32bit) and when i click customize this
folder... a dialogue box pops up saying the properties for this item are
unavailable.

Hope someone can help me.

Thank you for your links, but unfortunatly they didn't solve my problem. When
the service pack is released ill install that and see if that fixes it. f not
ill continue my search.

Thank you anyway
