Anyone ever seen this before? I'm Running Windows ME ( for now :) ) I've got some type of problem here the icon located nest to the start tab are all black. Three fourth of the items in my program files list are also black.

I also noticed the my Mpeg files are now listed as winamp files. I'm not ure what happened.??? I downloaded Winamp's newest version that when I noticed the problem. I removed winamp be the problem still exists. Yeah I know it was very STUPID of me to not install NAV but I'd recently formatted the hard drive....and you know how hard it is to put all that crap back on your system. Is the some type of virus? I put Mcaffe Viruscan on after the fact to give it a try. I didn't like it needless to say. I took that off thinking it might be the culprty...No luck yet.

ANYONE ......HELP!!!!

Hi there,

I run WindowsME and sometimes the icons just up and change. It's a problem with the icon cache. You might want to take a look at this program

"A very small icon cache rebuilder. Just launch it, wait a few seconds, and the icons are rebuilt."

Hi there,

You might need some runtime files. I never got the error. Here is another program that does the same thing.

"Every once in a while Windows goes nutz and it changes your icons for you
and this is not kewl!

This program will put your icons back to what they were is the first place."
