http://www.math.uwaterloo.ca/~daroloso/MissingIcons.png I was setting up a new machine so it had all the Apple Software Updates and I had just done SAV and was about to do Office 2008 and noticed the lack of icons (note the CD/DVD is missing too). A reboot changed a lot of the icons into the alias arrows which slowly became the right things. Dani MFCF
