I had this problem and I first tried your suggestion without quitting all Finder and it didn't work. So, I tried forcing quit Finder first and then Voila. It works. the comment below said "it didn't work". I guess it's because he didn't quit all finder first.

TryFirst, Force quit Finder. You can do this by pressing the option+command+esc keys and then selecting Finder from the list and clicking on the Relaunch button.

Then, try deleting the Finder's preferences file: com.apple.finder.plist, found in ~/Library/Preferences.

rm ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist

This file seems to easily become corrupt. Trashing it is a good first step when Views become wacky—anything to do with Finder.
