try deleting your shelliconcache in c:\windows

(need to show all files in folder options/view)

or start up in safe mode (this does the above auto) and see if the prob is still there

are these the only two apps with broken icons?
have you tried reinstalling them?

yes k-lite and msn are the only apps with corrupt icons. i have reinstalled both applications and still the problem exists. can the programs be interfering with eachother?

and yes i have the latest drivers for my graphics card :helpsmile:

Reinstall messenger

i dont think the windows iconcache has anything to do with it
