Missing System Explorer Icons

[Ty]

I had Microsoft Anit-spyware running perfectly on my
previous image. Recently I reformatted with XP Home SP2,
and the Anti-spyware was the first thing I installed after
updates.

After the install I noticed all the icons in System
Explorers under Advanced tools are missing. Anyone else
have this problem? I tried a search but got an error
message saying that the search function has been disabled.

Note: I have unistalled and reinstalled MAS 3 times, with
no change.

A question and a suggestion:

Are you running any Norton security suite products? Which?

Try installing a service pack for the VB6 runtime. One other user has
reported this fixed this issue for him, and I'd love to have further
confirmation:

I'm running Norton System Works Premier 2005, which now
that I think about it, was install right after service
packs, but before MSAS. Going to try your suggestion,
will update with results.

Update: Installing VB6 Runtime did in fact fix the
missing icons. Thank you very much, as that feature of
MSAS was the one I found most useful!

That's terrific news--thanks very much for testing the theory!
