Actually, there is no option(s) to hide the weapons and or your shield.
I didn't say there definitely was, I said to check just in case there was

Since she said it was in her characters profile I assumed she meant the weapon just wasn't appearing on the screen.

zigzag, you can't use every weapon in the game, it depends on your class. The weapon that you can't equip may be something you either can't use with your class, or you need to train in that weapon type or something. When you hover over the one you want to use, is there some red writing in the popup near the top? If so, that means you won't be able to use that weapon

She said it is a weapon she has used before though

It was okay before,but there is red writing now it says durability 0-30. so have I 'broken' it?
Ah, that is the problem. When you die, all your items take 10% durability damage, if you use the spirit healer they take additional damage (25% if I remember correctly). When they reach 0 you can no longer use them. You need to get them repaired. This can be done at any of the non player characters (NPCs) who sell weapons or armour.
