Is your problem similar to this one?

My suggestion to that user was to try resetting the View: View -> View Settings -> [Reset Current View]. But they never reported back if that fixed it.
If this doesn't work for you, please add a comment to this Answer and paste a screen shot of the Day Of The Week row from your Calendar. Just the top. Don't include any event information.
