If you mean the letters and arrows look screwed up thats usuall a font issue such as a missing or corrupted font. I would try copying the fonts directory from another machine over to yours.

Do a full system virus scan or replace your explorer.exe. It may have been alltered by another program or a virus.

Thanks FSItech and TonyT,
I extracted the Explorer file and that seemed to fix my problem. Much appreciated.
Thanks again
