Willy2:
- Did you try repair #11 ? It could help.

Rick:
I been around here for years in this hub and some others;

myself, I dont see the true benefit to repairing so many things without them being checked to be needed to repair, a side by side repair is the only method that makes sense, meaning user has a DIY interface to make repairs.

Additionally; this recent problem of me re-installing win7 and MSOffice which still did not fix that original icon problem shows us how vulnerable we are the viruses. programs outside of operating systems will in the future need to be run in sandbox environments.

thanks for trying

Willy2:
- If this weird behaviour only affects Office then it certainly could be a virus.
- Is all your other software up to date ? Especially JAVA & Flash player seem to have an ugly reputation for haveing "Security holes".

+1 For that Willy2.

I uninstalled JAVA a long time ago (I have no need for it) and Flash Player is only activated when needed, which is increasingly less and less nowadays. I'd add Adobe reader to that list too for vulnerabilities, let alone the fact that it is slow and bloated, Sumatra wins that one hands down.

Willy2:
- Or use Foxit Reader.
