Im am using a Windows Me OS. Now my problem is all my Icons in the Desktop and also at the Program Menua are all colored BLACK. I already re-installed the OS, removed the previous anti-virus and replaced a new one but still no effect.

Can you help me about this problem guys.

Thanks in advance.

When you said you reinstalled OS, I assume you did it while you were still in Windows. This may not correct your problem.

Instead, reinstall Windows from DOS.
Boot from Windows 98 Startup disk. From A prompt, navigate to the CD-ROM drive which has the Windows ME CD and type ?setup? without the quotes to initiate Windows installation.

If this does not resolve your problem, install Windows from scratch. Backup your data before doing it.

Thanks for the quick response, but an hour after I posted this problem, I solved it! The solution is, I just perform a right-click at my Desktop, select Properties, and go to Appearance Tab and Decrease the Size of the Icon.. and the appearance of my Desktop including the Program Menue is Restored. Thanks guys.
