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.

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.
