I'm just a passer by, figured I'd put my two cents worth in, (too bad I had to register to do such a thing ;), but anyways, check the root directory of drive C: (or any drive you're having a problem with) and make sure there is NOT an "autorun.inf" file there. Sometimes what happens, is some how (either by accident, or an OS screwed (?: I this possible;) ?) an autorun.inf from a CD gets dropped in the root of the drive, and double clicking on the drive makes windows try and run the autorun.inf instead of opening the drive up.

This will cause strange behavour, including, but not limited to, drive icon turning to the "Generic Page" icon, or nothing happaning, or the OS complaining of a missing file when you double click on the drive.

If the autorun.inf file is there in C:\, then just delete it. Rebooting the OS after removing this file may be necessary, it usually is for the 9x series, not sure of the XP class..

Hope it helps someone...
