    Hi r5r4y.:)

    The icon in question is the Windows 7 icon for Internet Checkers. Nothing strange about it at all.

    If the icon is troubling you, you can hide it by right clicking on the icon and selecting "hide this game".

    Hope this helps.

    Haha! Solved the problem by going to Start > Run : regsvr32 C:\Windows\System32\gameux.dll C:\Windows\SysWOW64\gameux.dll

    This is worked for me on 64Bit system [but it should work on 32Bit too], all rating and wining state are back to normal...
