Vista - Performance index missing in games folder

I went to look at my Performance index in the games folder, but the
performance index disappeared. I can still access the performance index
separately through the control panel, but it is not in my games folder. And,
as a result, I cannot look at the games' ratings compared to the system. How
can I get this back?

information. If you removed the icons or copied different icons to the Games
folder it won't work.

I'm not sure if that's exactly the problem. I find the "Games Rating" system
to be pretty inaccurate. It's a nice general score, but often times a system
that rates lower than what the game needs will still run ok.

-A.

Unfortunately, none of the information shows up for anything. What I mean
more exactly is that the sidebar itself completely disappeared. Nothing is
displayed, just the the thumbnails for the games. It is as if the games
folder reverted into a regular folder.
