Tree Pane in Explorer is blank

[Dave Flinker]

Suddenly the tree pane in explorer has gone blank. It is there, but is all
gray with no tree. How can I get it back?

Usually caused by incorrect value entry at:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{EFA24E64-B078-11d0-89E4-00C04FC9E26E}\InProcServer32

The (Default) REG_EXPAND_SZ value (when IE 6 is installed) should point
to %SystemRoot%\system32\shdocvw.dll

You can repair by repairing Internet Explorer or by merging this to the
registry:

Thanks, I tried changing the registry, but that didn't work. I
reinstalled IE 6 and that fixed the problem. Thanks again.
