Friday, May 13, 2005 by P_Thomas22 | Discussion: IconPackager

OK here's the silly problem. I get the message about Iconpackager not being able to load icons on windowsxp classic start menu, I DO NOT HAVE IT ON CLASSIC. never have never will. I am running xp service pack 2, IconPackager 2.5, Windows Blinds, Desktop X, and ObjectDock. Please help as i am going to break my monitor soon! Thanks.

Not sure it this will fix, sometimes XP needs to be reminded of it's settings. Right click on taskbar select
properties, start menu tab, select classic start menu apply, select start menu apply.

I haven't seen that warning in ages, but I thought that's all it was..... a warning message for those that use the Classic Start Menu.
Does it not apply the icons to your non-Classic Start Panel?

its does nothing, I am sure its not on, if i hit start button it looks all nice with my windows blinds skin on it, I have tried unloading blinds and using just normal xp theme with the blue start bar and everything. No luck on anything I have tried. Please help soon cause my icons are really bugging me.

OK so before I write this keep in mind I have been awake for over 36 hours, and havent left my computer for most of that time. Still this does not excuse me being such an idiot that it is unbelievable!

Well the title of this post is it must be something simple, well its so siple I doubt anyone would even be able to realize what I was doing wrong.

I didnt hit the apply button.

There we have it, i was just double clicking on the Icon Package i wanted to load the error message is just a warning saying that if you have it in classic then it wont work (after you hit apply) and the reason no one sees it that often is because the have the handy click here to not display again box. Which I have no done and then all is well. God I'm a retard. Well I am off to sleep now! I am shaking my head in disbelieve as I type! Ahhh well I'm sure we have all done something so dumb.......


Naaaaaaahhhh thats got to take the cake!

Thanks for help anyways

I'm often stumped only to find, after much aggravation, that what I'm looking for is right in front of my face.

My wife has the gift of, after hours of me troubleshooting anything from computer to vacume, she says something like "Does this switch on the wall behind the picture of my parents have anything to do with the problem?"

Doh!!
