Hi,

I recently installed Dosbox .72 on my Windows 7 computer. After I ran the program, I noticed that all my icons had changed to Dosbox. I was weirded out, so I restarted my computer, but all the icons were still of Dosbox. I uninstalled the program, only to find out that all of my desktop and taskbar items have blank icons and only show a *.lnk as their extensions. I can't pin anything to my taskbar either. Does anyone know how to fix this?

I noticed you've installed a totally outdated version of DOSBox. Please try 0.73 (or even newer, if available), because 0.73 has many improvements in order to be compatible to Vista/7.
