Hi
I am not 100% certain whether my laptop (Running XP SP2) has a problem or not?
I used Revo Uninstaller to remove an unwanted program, using the Advanced option to clear Registry entries (I have used the Advanced option before with no apparent problems).
Then within Revo I noticed ATI Display Driver no longer has an icon being displayed. This is the only entry without an icon and I cannot recall if it had an icon before the uninstall?
I have also noticed that Start/All Programs shows a generic icon for a lot of the programs listed (Eg: AVG/Google Earth/CCleaner...).
I am not sure if this is how they have always been displayed and I am getting a bit paranoid that something is wrong when all is okay.
Please let me know if this is how your Start/All Programs appears or there is something wrong and if so, any suggestions on how to cure it.
Many thanks for any info here.

Corrupt icon cache? Nowt much to worry about, but - as pointed out by ND - install SP3 & get up to date ASAP.

There was never an icon, its always that way.I have also noticed that Start/All Programs shows a generic icon for a lot of the programs listed (Eg: AVG/Google Earth/CCleaner...).
