Explorer problems after geforce4 card install
Hi,
After installing and then uninstalling an Nvidia geforce4 card, windows explorer has started behaving oddly. If I try and open a folder, any folder except My Docs, the "open with" dialog box appears. All drives, applications and files work as expected, it's just folders. I can access all folders with the two-pane view by clicking on the file tree in the left hand pane but not the right hand one. Even folders on my desktop are bust. I have also noticed that "new" has fallen off the File menu and the context menu so I can't make new folders or any new files using this method. I have a 500mz system (I guess it's too old to work properly with the geforce card) and haven't found a similar problem with a solution listed on google. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Sam. |

The system is a bottleneck that holds back the GF4, but I don't think it would cause that problem. It sounds like a setting for how Window behaves got changed some how. My system did this a while ago, and I didn't even change any hardware. Unfortunatly, I didn't find the setting to change back, so I just formated, and reinstalled the system. That's a radical fix, but it was time for me to clean things up anyways. |
