Corrupted icons and ActivIcons software

[erleyedit]

My graphics icons no longer display the miniature of the actual graphic file properly:

.ico & .cur - cannot be seen in List, Details, or Thumbnails mode; only way to preview actual image is to turn on Image Preview in the Customize This Folder Wizard.

.gif & .jpg - cannot see miniature in List or Details; can see in Thumbnails and Image Preview.

.bmp - can see in List, Details, Thumbnails, and Image Preview.

Is it safe to use ActivIcons to rebuild the system icon cache file?

If not, what would you recommend to get them working again?

Thanks!

my graphic icons corrupted once in win2k, and i was able to find a little file to fix the problem. perhaps it can help you also. check out this website and find the file appropriate to your problems. just try out the fix that help restore the graphic icons. it doesn't hurt.
