Can't veiw files on hard drive.
« on: September 15, 2006, 08:27:59 PM »
When i go through My Computer and click on Local Disk (C:) it brings up a serch page (picture) instead of showing the usual folders. This just occured today and hasnt ever dont this before. Also, when i insert an audio CD, and go through my computer it wont open it. It says somthing like "you have to go through control panel and edit the file types" or something. This also just occured today. It would usually open Windows media player and start playing the audio file.

    Right click local disk and tell us which option is highlighted. I suspect it will be search instead of open. Try clicking open - still happen? I see the search button at the top of the Window is highlighted - try clicking it.
