Cant name files or select file type when saving

Oct 7, 2007 6:43PM PDT

When I click save or save as in Excel, Word, Paint (and probably a lot of programs that I haven't discovered yet) a Save As window pops up - but it just looks like Windows Explorer.

It has the folder list, but there is no place to enter the file name, and I cannot select the file type.

All I can do is select a directory and hit save - which saves the file as Untitled.

This is obviously driving me nuts - can anybody help?
(I would post a picture of the screenshot except I can't save it as a jpg)
