.exe files as icons suddenly doesn't work
Tuesday, December 9, 2008 by Tangyzizzle | Discussion: ObjectDock
I've been loving ObjectDock for quite some time now. This is the first problem I've had with it. I'm currently on Vista 64. Everything had been fine for ages until today. All my icons that were from .exe's don't display properly all of a sudden. I've tried rebuilding & repairing the icon cache, but that didn't do the trick. Everything looks fine in Explorer; it's just that ObjectDock doesn't recognize the .exe files as icon images any more.
I've got images here to illustrate my dilemma:
The broken icons in my dock:
Resetting the image gives me the same thing:
Browsing for the image through OD:
But Windows Explorer shows everything fine:
So... I'm hoping somebody can help me out here. So far I've tried the aforementioned rebuild/repair of the iconcache.db (which did nothing & didn't seem to be the source of the problem anyway), restarted & reloaded OD & my computer a few times, and banged my head on my desk for good measure. 
Any help is very much appreciated!

Wow, I've been super frustrated with this and searched google forever. And I came here not really looking for an answer and found it.

Update:
I uninstalled IconPackager, and that fixed the problem. I don't know why that happened - IP always played nice before. Anyway, if someone else ever has this problem, hopefully they find this post.
Cheers!
