This is the most obvious of various issues, I am just posting this in the hope that it reminds anyone of similar issue. This server crashed overnight, was struggling with lack of virtual memory and any IO recently. After restarting this morning
I cannot see default file attributes, just last saved date. I cannot post an image as a newbie, maybe I can a bit later.
The folder pane can display the name, as can the 'Computer' window, along with any mapped drives to the server. However the details pane will not show the Name / type / size, and furthermore because it is default I cannot just add it back. Unfortunately this is not the only issue for example internal processes/services are not running as expected e.g I click the windows update icon in the task bar and the GUI flashes up on the screen the disappears. I have run sfc /scannow and the first time it failed (just disappeared after reaching 100%), the second time it reported that it had fixed some corruptions. After several restarts the issues remain. Same issues are present in safe mode. Trawling through the www to llok for similar issues all I can find is the suggestion to re-register shdocvw.dll, however since it's a live server and people can still access I dodn't want to tempt fate until I full understand the scope of that dll.
Anyway, I am pretty resigned to the fact it's just in need of a rebuild/replace. However if this means anything to anyone please let me know. Many thanks.
