Open and Save As dialog boxes missing components

[Fatalic]

So far I've only noticed this with OpenOffice and Firefox. First the open dialog box, upon opening this there are a few components missing in the window. Such as the navigation pane on the left and the toolbar below the address bar. The save as dialog box is even worse. It's missing the navigation pane, toolbar and the file name input box at the bottom. I have no idea how this happened. I have updated both apps to it's newest versions and still no difference. I'm starting to think it's a windows problem. Searching online hasn't helped much since it's hard to describe this problem. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Not sure if this is *quite* what you're talking about, but maybe worth a try: Left Folder Pane Not Displayed In Windows 7 or Vista Explorer. In addition, if this started not to long ago, you could do a system restore using a restore point dated before this problem to hopefully fix it.
