Operating system: windows7  
Slicer version: 4.9.0  
Expected behavior: DICOM load  
Actual behavior:

There is no change after loading the DICOM file.

If you drag the DICOM folder to the Slicer window and click “Load directory into dicom database”, nothing happens.  
When I import to DICOM Browser, there is no dicom data information.

The DICOM file I use is probably not a problem.  
It is being used in other programs.  
I have tried to input and import to try the DICOM Patcher module, but nothing is active in the viewer.  
I am also a Korean student. So I can not use English programs well.  
So it is difficult to do self-study.  
Please help me.

Also be sure that all the directories have English characters only (sometimes characters from other languages can confuse the parsing).
