Shared Folders aren't working

When I try to access my shared folders from a windows explorer window, my Windows 7 os is acting like it can't access my shared folders. What happens is I select the file location (under "Network") and usually the shared folders appear there. Now I select 'Network' - and nothing happens.

From the bottom of my windows os, I can see that the shared folders appear as though they should be available (see screen shot). What is happening?? Thanks.

Did you install the guest additions (in the guest)?

Yes, it's been working fine all along - I've been able to access these folders before, been able to print or connect a usb to the guest, etc. One thing I noticed in trying to trouble shoot this, and I don't know if it matters, there are two guest additions that show up in my list of devices. If I select one or the other, nothing changes.
