| 593998 | 2007-09-22 07:32:00 | Hi guys, random thing just happened, all my shortcuts are black! i dont know what caused it, has anyone had this problem before? i've done a google and a forum search, not much luck. Here's a screen shot moist.orcon.net.nz I've tried changing the icons but still appears black :badpc: . I'm running WinXP with SP2 (running vista themes) Any Idea's ? Cheers :) |

| 593999 | 2007-09-22 07:43:00 | Most probably the theme causing it. Change the theme see if it still happens. | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 594000 | 2007-09-22 07:49:00 | mm i thought it could be but i've been using the theme's for months now and it has never done it. i changed the themes and also went back to the original one and the icons are still black... :help: | Jimmy D (2061) | ||
| 594001 | 2007-09-22 08:43:00 | Try repairing the icon cache. ShellIconFix - Utility to repair the shell object icons in Windows XP (windowsxp.mvps.org) | Jen (38) | ||
| 594002 | 2007-09-22 08:43:00 | Looked at your screenshot and saw what you meant! BTW, lovely background pic. I would go for the icon cache if it was my system. If resources get low, the icons can get zapped. See here www.pctools.com Good luck. Edit:- touche, Jen!!! |
