Cannot access My documents with Vista 64

I got Vista 64 a few weeks ago and all seemed OK and was (IthinK)
But since yesterday I cannot open the file or folder rather, that contains
my Documents.
Location (C: drive) is not available. Access denied.

I could before a few days ago always get to My Documents.

What to do????

ESET - Antivirus Software with Spyware and Malware Protection

When you click on COMPUTER off the START button, what do you see listed under HARD DISK DRIVES? Do you see "local disk C:"? If yes, what happens if you click on that drive icon?

Are you logged on as Administrator?

I might have you look at your Event Viewer, but first let's see what you can see.

Click on Documents, not My Documents.

The latter is a special link that is available only to software that
doesn't know the new name Documents for what used to be My Documents.
