I would first Rebuild Your Icon Cache
(i use this to do it- just use the demo- beeicons.com

if that dont work
then you may have a corrupt shell32.dll (all windows icons) and explorer.exe (startmenu icon)
u can find them here
c:\windows\system32\SHELL32.dll
c:\windows\explorer.exe
you may have to replace them with "correct" versions
its a little bit of as process to swap them-just try the rebuild icon cache first
hope for some other answers
if not, reply, and i can help you with swapping

ok ight i will demo

just reread your post
its probably most definetly the shlwapi.dll - heres a link to a fresh version of it
http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dl....shtml?shlwapi
By the way
dxdiag.exe: i suggest u remove it again - and freshly install directx 9 from microsoft

[DarkClown12]

which u want me to try? the file or what?

[100%]

heres direct link

put in C:\WINDOWS\system32
and in C:\WINDOWS\system32\dllcache
(if u cant see the dllcache folder-open explorer-tools-folderoptions-view-unmark "hide protected system files"

http://www.dll-files.com/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/d...e=shlwapi.zip==

if that dont work get explorer.exe and shell32.dll from the same site
(but they will be protected by windows so you have to disable windows file protection-using litepc- http://www.litepc.com/xplite.html
just run the prog-turn off file protection-reboot- delete explorer.exe and shell32.dll from system32 and the DLLCACHE and put in the clean ones.
reboot
hopefully its fixed then
turn on file protection thru xplite program
finish
