Corrupt/black icons in WSAD

[Thomas Olausson]

Running Websphere Studio App Developer 5.1.2 on Win2K.

This morning when I started WSAD, all the icons are just black boxes.
I mean every icon in the toolbar section/perspective list is just a little black box!
It's kind of hard to navigate in WSAD now.

I read somewhere that the icon cache in Windows, \winnt\ShellIconCache can get corrupt. Removed that file and restarted, same problem.

Reinstalled WSAD, same problem.

There must be some Windows setting that has changed.
Anyone encountered this?

My colleague, running the same setup, has the exact same problem.
Only option now is to reinstall Win2K.

Regards,
/Tom

I don't know how many times I've started writing something
in the forums and as I'm writing I realize why I'm having the problem:

Our virus scanner was the problem. Turn it off and the icons are good.

Tip for mankind: stay away from McAfee, which is the virus itself.
