    Hi
    Installed updates, asked for reboot, uninstalled ATI drivers first and the rebooted! Got error that updates could not be configured and rolled back! After restart did ATI / Windows updates. All updates ok, and the failed ones installed successfully! I noticed then that I've 2 "Program Files", and no "Program Files (x86)"! All installed program are there, and searching for a file shows its location in "Program Files (x86)", but "(86)" has disappeared from the second "Program Files" folder's name! CMD and Dir /A shows Program Files (86). It's just in explorer that (x86) does not show!
    Any thought on that?! And how to get the name back?!

    Try renaming 1 of the folders or do a system restore to before the updates

    It's fixed. Thanks a lot. Best to close this thread now.
    If anyone interested, it was the reference nr. in desktop.ini that had been changed! How? I have no idea.
