Can't modify folder details (XP 64-bit)

When I have detail veiw selected, I go to View> Choose Details and

select the details I want to be able to see, but no matter what I

select (such as album title, artist, year, track number, etc) and

click OK, it makes no difference. On the main folder at least the

detail titles show up, but the details themselves don't, and for any

subfolders, even the detail titles don't show up. All I'm able to see

is Name, Type, Size and Date Modified.

Thanks in advance for your help.
