    Hi Guys

    I have had his very same thing happen to me several times and I am afraid the only thing that worked was a complete re-install. Touch wood I have not had the problem now since my last re-install acouple of weeks ago. I think that this is happening to too many people for it to be a co-incidence .. there has to be an inherent problem in Windows 7 I think.

    What worked for me was right clicking icon, Run As Administrator, and then once program loaded I right clicked the icon again, Properties, Change Icon, selected appropriate icon, ok & Apply

    Hope that helps anyone else with this issue
