    PC not showing correct model info or image in Devices & Printers


    Hey everyone :) I'm facing a peculiar problem with my computer; it's in Devices & Printers. I remember I used to have a fancy image of my computer displayed, but now it doesn't anymore and it doesn't have my correct model listed either

    As you can see, my printer and Logitech receiver have the right icons and info. I think it may have something to do with the fact that I'm using a different hard drive to the one that came with the laptop. I'm also not using the OEM version of W7 anymore, from Toshiba. I used to be able to click on my computer's fancy icon where it'd bring up a sub-menu, with different options. That's how it is when I click on my printer anyway, lol.

    This is what comes up when I click on the icon.

    Anyone know how I can fix it? I like fancy icons xD
    Any help is appreciated :)

    Thanks for replying :) I tried the 'fix it' on the link you provided and it reset the icons for the other devices, but my computer is still the same It's still got the generic icon and the wrong info. Any other suggestions?

    Run windows Update manually to see if the right icon comes back.

    Right click the icon to see a list of functions and options.

    OK, I did a manual check for updates and it listed 2 important ones and 3 optional... I'm currently installing them; it's taking a while because somebody is using all of the bandwidth
    I'll post again when it's finished.

    What do you think it should be, do you have a sample?

    I believe it should look something like this:

    I hope my editing skills aren't too bad. xD

    When I click on my printer, this comes up too:

    I remember I could click on my computer's icon and get a menu like this, with the Toshiba logo, but the gradient up the top was bright red. I think it also had different laptop model icons next to the logo or something.

    I think clicking the Computer icon should bring this up.

    Mine brings up my scanner for some reason.
    The printer does have different options shown.

    You might give Option One a try here: Icon Cache - Rebuild
