3 icons on taskbar are suddenly 'generic'?

Can you post a screenshot and complete your system specs please?

I'm running a fully patch win7-64. I've got Adobe's After Effects pinned to my task bar. Until a week or so ago, it would show an AE icon, but now - it's showing a generic icon. I've tried to set the icon by hand, but it won't set. I've tried removing it and pinning it again (the icon shows up ok in Explorer), but with no success. This has happened to two other icons from different programs, I'm at a loss on how to 'fix' this?

Hi 7powerwannabe, You state you are running a fully patched version of win7 64bit, could I ask where you obtained the software from ?

Here's the screenshot: I updated my system specs. I purchased the box from neqx.com and have the disk with hologram.

Have you tried rebuilding the icon cache? Icon Cache - Rebuild

Rebuilding the icon cache did the trick! I've never had to do that before, in all my years with XP? Oh well, glad there's a simple fix. Thanks!

You're welcome, glad we were able to help you
