Folder view problems

Windows 98 problem: The contents of my folders are not visible when the view option is set to "details." This happened suddenly and is true for all folders as far as I can tell. The files and folders are still there and I can select them using the tab, letter and arrow keys, but I can't see them. If I change the view option to any of the other choices (large icons, small icons, list) the contents become visible again. Any ideas?

 

Hi jgreen,

See if this helps

Or it's the oldy but goody column sizing problem:

If you either see only partial information or no information at all when trying to use the Details view in Explorer, odds are the columns are messed up.
Just use your mouse, and resize them by moving the arrow until it changes to a horizontal resize arrow, between the column headings. Then, click down and drag the columns until you can see all the information.
If you click on the column headings themselves, it will sort the window accordingly. Double-clicking the column separators will automatically adjust the column widths so that all the information is displayed.
If you don't see any columns, they've all been squeezed to the left. Just take your mouse, and move it slowly around the upper-left portion of the window until the double-arrow (for resizing) appears.

Note: you can also press the Ctrl and + keys to automatically resize all columns (just like double-clicking on each and every column divider). That's the + key on your numeric keypad, not the one next to your backspace key.

 

Sounds like MY problem...got it fixed...see my postings...
