Windows updates won't install, and icon issues seem to be related

Re: Windows updates won't install, and icon issues seem to be rela


If MS do come up with a solution then please post it, I'd greatly appreciate
it.

We had a peaceful spell in the office this morning so I did a Windows repair
on my PC.
Repair completed successfully but all the issues remain.
Windows repair does not solve the problem

Wow, I am surprised - I was sure that a system repair would have fixed it.
Hmm.

Just a question - have you "cloned" your system disk? I did that a while
ago, to upgrade to a larger drive, and I read on another board that some of
the cloning software products will not copy the "uninstall" directory. I
don't know if this is true or not, but it's the only other lead I've found.
