Disk Usage Meter in My Computer

In "My Computer," the disk usage meters that show up under the extended tiles
for each disk have suddenly disappeared. What's going on? Anyone else have
this problem?

This may have happened after installation of one of the following programs:
Daemon Tools
CDex
Exact Audio Copy

Re: Disk Usage Meter in My Computer

You need to set the view to "Tiles".

Have you tried uninstalling the above listed programs? Do you have a system
restore point prior to the installation of those programs to which you can
revert?

Re: Disk Usage Meter in My Computer

I know uninstalling them might work but I'd rather see if anyone else has
this problem and has a fix rather than going through the hassle of doing
system restores.
