When I'm in Windows Explorer I cannot view anything in the Right Pane. There is a tiny square located in the upper left corner of the right pane, and the square has a dot in the center of it. I found one suggested solution using Google, involving tapping the + key, but that does nothing. Also when I open the Control Panel, there is a square with a red x in the right pane, as though there is a missing image file somewhere. Are these two problems related? Is there any hope? This is our main MISSION CRITICAL server, so it's difficult to experiment on.

Thanks,
Rob

I assume you meant this sort of thing:

Presumably you are certain you used the + key on the far right of the "numeric keypad", just above Enter key?

Yes, that is exactly the article I found, and exactly what I tried, with no help. The article says that this problem occurs when Windows Explorer is set to "Details" view, but I don't show anything regardless of which view type is selected.

Sure would be nice to figure out why.

I am having the same problem with my Windows 2000 Server. It may be related to recent software uninstalls but I am not certain, just grasping at straws at this point. Please let me know if any more info surfaces on this topic.
