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

[DarkClown12]

ok ight i will demo

[100%]

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/dll-files.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== (http://www.dll-files.com/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/dll-files/topdown/download.pl?file=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

[DarkClown12]

[100%]

in the top it says -icons-clik on it-then clik rebuild icon cache

[DarkClown12]

[100%]

while im working on it

ask the same question at these two forums
theyre very good for these probs
youll have register to post (this is not spam)
cause my answer following answer may not help

http://forum.tweakxp.com/forum/

and

http://neowin.net/forum/

[DarkClown12]

ok i will try there as well

[DarkClown12]

Ok i posted at tweakxp, wantn on reponses and also id for otha 1

[100%]

None of this would have happened if you had installed a GoodClean XP
so if the following doesnt work
get a good Clean version of XP

I suggest waiting for answers from the other forums before doing this

download xplite here
http://www.litepc.com/getxplite.html

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

get shell32.dll here
http://www.dll-files.com/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/d...e=shell32.zip== (http://www.dll-files.com/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/dll-files/topdown/download.pl?file=shell32.zip==)

get explorer.exe here
http://www.yousendit.com/download.aspx?fil...4C05B190C965D24 (http://www.yousendit.com/download.aspx?fileid=DBFAD503E12562C894C05B190C965D24)

Ok

Xplite
extract it-runit-
on windows file protection the 2nd page
clik "turn off"
reboot

open explorer-tools-folderoptions-view-unmark "hide protected system files"
(this so you can see the DLLCACHE folder)

now COPY all 3 files the 2 .dlls and explorer.exe
and put them and replace the originals
C:\WINDOWS\system32\dllcache


Then do the same in with the 2 .dlls in
C:\WINDOWS\system32

Then replace the Explorer.exe
inC:\WINDOWS

if it wont let you replace
then
try to delete the originals and then replace-
if still not youll have to work in safe mode.

Reboot

Hopefully all your icons are back -maybe rebuild icon cache again in BeeIcons.

If it doesnt work - dont worry this is safe -no harm done.

open explorer-tools-folderoptions-view-MARK "hide protected system files"
then
in xplite-Turn ON windows file protection
reboot

if it dont work-check the other forums-if not Reinstall with a better version of XP

[DarkClown12]

I am going to try this now ok, wish me luck

[100%]

post if it did or did not do the trick

[DarkClown12]

didnt work cant get to or find control panel

[100%]

Too Bad-i suggest a Clean install

[DarkClown12]

where can i get one that will clean install?

[100%]

Klite?
Bittorrent?
Limewire?
etc
etc

good luck

[DarkClown12]

bitorrent and klite failed, duno what limewire is

[shn]

Try Style Xp (http://www.tgtsoft.com/download.php).

It does icons. It might fix it.

I wish I could talk people into fresh installs like that. :lol:

[DarkClown12]

thats funny

[tesco]

lol, hes done a fresh install like 10 times before now, and has also tried upgrading from windows 2000 which also had some problems with drivers.

and his problem isnt that he doesnt have icons its that there is no startmenu\taskbar etc. loading either which is why i though it had something to do with explorer.exe. but i dunno.

[DarkClown12]

I am trying 2000 again ok, i will post how it goes

[bulio]

ok, *the suspense is tight*

[DarkClown12]

With the original problem you coulda just clicked Start, Run and typed sfc /scannow.

Why do people in here so quickly say "reinstall windows" for the slightest fucking thing?

Never mind.

Didn&#39;t see it posted here so I assume you either PMed or know him personally.

So it restored all the original files but didn&#39;t fix it, yet the disc installs fine on another system?

Perhaps when XP installed it configured itself to do without the files that weren&#39;t there and doesn&#39;t know they&#39;re there now?
