Look i installed PHYZIOS studio, i have installed before also without any problems...
and the thing is if you look at the Windows Live icon only cross could be seen.
And reinstalling the pograms didnt help
The files like .pdf and .docx can be opened but no icons

Try booting into safe mode, then rebooting into Windows normally. See if that corrects the problem.

I agree with the others, this is gotta be a corruption in the registry. Tell us, have you used any installed stuff like registry cleaners????

No...

MadMax u havent asked any Questions

That's a real bummer. I know this won't help you right now, but always make regularly scheduled registry backups. Your not alone, most users don't, unfortunately. If I were you, I would try an OS repair using your Windows DVD, or the repair partition. I can't stand missing icons.

OMG i am loosing icons...Skype, 7zip, Bad Company 2...
Maybe i shall reinstall the windows
