Upgraded a machine from windows 2000 Professional to Windows XP
Professional with Service Pack 2 and installed all the other updates.
(All bar three that just won't install for some reason).

Now when I click on My Computer I get the torch swinging about the middle
of the window. No drives, nothing. I've left it looking for ten minutes
and still nothing.

If I type any drive letter or folder path in an address bar it will find
it quite happily. I just can't see all the drives! Anyone seen anything
like this before? And if so, did you get it fixed?

Any help much appreciated.

Is TweakUI installed? Is it hiding drives?
