disk c problem

Expand Post »
hi all,
I have a really weird problem with my windows xp. Everything works ok but when I load explorer and open drive c: all I can see are the folders - without their names. To be exact, the names are there but their text font is white, so if you click on a folder the name is displayed but otherwise is invisible.
Is there anyway to fix the font of the text for the folders on drive c:?
any help is appreciated
Thx in advance

P.S all other drives work ok!

Re: disk c problem
Hi,
Right click you "Desktop" click "Properties" and then change your "Themes" to something else and try again.
If that has not fixed your problem, you may have a virus or malware Go to:-
http://housecall.trendmicro.com/
or:-
http://security.symantec.com/sscv6/WelcomePage.asp
Download and run to remove any viruses you may have. (Sometimes a virus will stop you accessing an anti-virus site, so try going through safe mode (Tap F8 on boot up) and see if you can access it there.)
Then go to :-
http://www.malwarebytes.org/
or;-
http://majorgeeks.com
Download, run then quick check your PC for any problems, if still there do a full scan.

If that has not helped, then maybe a Windows repair is required. If you want to repair your installation with your OS disk, go to:-
