Finder not opening new finder windows

[chai]

Finder is currently running on my laptop. I can see file icons, and my hard drive exists. Yay. Unfortunately, when I try to open a new Finder window (so I can see files) nothing happens. All folder icons are now blank icons. When I try to go to any folder, nothing happens.

I haven't installed any apps in the last two weeks, and Finder didn't start being buggy until today. I tried rebooting as well as restarting Finder - neither method works. Does anyone know how else this problem might be fixed?

Thanks.
