Unable to see drives in 'Computer'

When opening 'computer' I do not see any drives. My computer is a Compaq
Presario SR1180UK, operating system is Windows Vista Home premium. Normally
when I open 'My Computer' I can see all drives with
info as to size/name etc, and am able to open any drive by selecting it.
Today, for no reason that I am aware of, When I select 'Computer' no drives
are shown. I am able, I think, to save info to a drive because drive led on
front of comp or external drive blinks. I have Norton 360 installed and
Tweakvi. Have tried
Windows System Restore but to no avail. Can you suggest any cure for this
problem. Many thanks. JY

Re: Unable to see drives in 'Computer'

Undo changes you made with TweakVI and see if that resolves the issue. Think
about any settings changes or tweaks you made before this happened. Also
examine whether or not an update to Norton 360 caused the problem by
disabling it temporarily.
