blank file icons

[Asp]

I can't see anything strange in the logs. The errors you can see at the beginning are the "standard" one always present in these logfiles.

I wonder whether the problem with Tapin Radio may be related to this one. Could you try to open a website in IE6 and right-click on it?

IE seems okay, though I never used it and deleted the shortcuts.

I found it at c:\winnt\system32\dllcache\iexplore.exe

That runs and reports itself as version 6.0.2800.1106

Is that correct?

No right-click problems I can find.

Yes, iexplore.exe is the IE6 launcher. Actually you can just input a http:// address in Windows Explorer and it will work from there too. That's one of the reasons IE is said to be integrated in Windows

Could you try to launch Tapin in Safe Mode? Is it still the same? Also could you create a new user account and check if the situation is the same there too? Let's try some basics solutions before implementing something more serious.

Edit: I think I've found the culprit! Before doing anything else could you tell me what CPU is used in your machine?

Yeah, it's there too. I had assumed, knowing it was integrated in Windows, that it was in the Windows directory, with things like Windows Write, and first searched from there down. If I hadn't found it I would have looked beyond that.

All I deleted were the shortcuts. As I said.

I've been preparing UURollup-v11 where a few bugs will be fixed. I hope the one discussed here too. As this seems to be your main system I won't suggest trying out a test version of it as it may be risky but if you do want to try it out then please send me a PM. Otherwise I'll let you know when UURollup-v11 final is ready.

While annoying, the weird icons and the loss of Tapin aren't critical, and yes, I do need this for my work, so I can't afford the downtime if it gets trashed.

So I don't want to run a beta, but will wait for UU11 proper.

Any idea when that will be?

I can't really say when but I'd like to solve the problems as soon as it's possible.

[tomasz86]

I've just released UURollup-v10a. Could you try it and tell me if any of the issues are fixed?

Edit: UURollup-v10b has been released.

I got 10a, and Tapin Radio now runs again, thanks.

The original icon problem is unchanged, but that's cosmetic.

( I tried resetting the association and also rebuilt the icons.)

[tomasz86]

Could you try to install v10b? There was a bug in the v10a installer which prevented the new shell32.dll from being installed.

Edit: And please check version of shell32.dll after installing UURollup-v10b.

Tried 10b, icons unchanged.

shell32.dll is

5.0.3900.7171

Does the problem happen when you use 16-bit icons too?

May you try to set the display mode to 16 bit colours in Desktop Properties while also changing this registry setting:

HKCU,"Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics","Shell Icon BPP"

from "32" to "16" (reboot is required)?
