When you open a folder, the area where you are supposed to see the files shows up grey sometimes with a black X at the top left corner. If you click on the X do the files or icons show up. Other times the grey area appears but without the X. If you position your mouse anywhere on the grey area, and right click on it you get a button to appear with the word close. If you push the buttion then all the files/icons appear.
I was helping a friend install DX8.1 and the 23.11 GeForce video drivers.
Before we started he had 4 picture bmp files he wanted to show me, so and I changed his view to "as web page" so we could see previews of the pictures.
Next downloaded and installed DirectX8.1
Next Downloaded and installed Nvidia 23.11 drivers.
He changed his Reolution to 1024 x 768 and attemped to change the scaling of the icons, this seemed to crash the computer. So we installed an older 7.72 driver.
After doing all of this is when a folder was opened the area that should have had the file detaila/icon area show up grey. We unchecked the view as web page but it is still doing this.
Does anyone know how to change this so the files automatically are listed without having to hit an X, or right click in the grey area and push on the close button?
His operating system is windows98 (Not SE), had a Intel P2 500mhz CPU with 256Meg Ram.
