Black icons on destop instead of normal icons?

[smithy5]

How do I fix this? The icons functions, but the pictures are all gone. Everything is a black box, including icon on the c drive, my documents, etc.

PII 450
320mb ram
Win 98 OS

(My dad's machine, so excuse the outdated stuff)

The problem started yesterday

Rebooted
Restarted
NAV
Ad-aware
Defrag
ScanDisk


As soon as I boot it back up.....no icons

Try this, rename or delete the file shelliconcache, all one word, reboot. I think it resides at the root of c:\windows.
