Start Menu Prog Folders show as "empty"

Recommended Posts

I'm pretty much stumped on this one. I have a HP Pavilion N5415 laptop (XP HOme) that I suspect is virus infected. Anyway, all the program folders in the Start Menu show as "empty". For example, if I try to access something on the menu:

 

Start > Programs > Creative > empty

Start > Programs > Musicmatch > empty

 

Anything I try to view in the Start Menu shows as empty, except Norton & Adaware, the 2 programs I've added since receiving the pc. I scanned it with Norton 2004, & also from sarc.com & trendmicro.com too, but found nothing. Adaware found a few pieces of junkware, but only the usual stuff.

 

The programs are still in their respective folders, & execute without issue. It's only the start Menu that is messed up. I tried googling but found mostly topics on how to clean up the Start Menu, nothing specific to my problem.

 

Thoughts?
