IP 3.00a don't load all icons

Sorry i'm french... ^^

from JoeUser Forums
Hello everybody !

In a first time, I've to say to you that I'm french... So, my english is a little bad...
My problem : I installed IP v3.00a, and, when I load any icons pack, icons are loaded except those in "Poste de travail" (sorry I don't know what's the english name for it), and except folders icons, and others...

I've tried to read the forum, and I saw that there is a problem with iprepair.dll, but I don't know if it can correct my problem...

So please help me how you can, and in a easy english (please please please... lol).

Thanks !

If you installed the IconPackager "shareware" version 3.0a, your explorer windows may be set to run in a seperate process.

To check this, do the following:

1 - Start IconPackager
2 - Go to "Tools > Restore All Icons"
3 - Click "Yes" to confirm changes
4 - Click "OK" button, and wait about 30 seconds
5 - Open "My Computer"
6 - Go to "Tools > Folder Options > View tab"
7 - Look for a check mark by the "Launch folder windows in a seperate process"
8 - If there is a check mark, clear it, then click "Apply"



9 - Start IconPackager again, and try to apply an icon package.

Please post here again, if this did not help.

"Launch folder windows in a separate process" (in french : "Ouvrir les fenêtres des dossiers dans un processus différent") was not checked... Snif !

So, nothing new... My problem is still existing !

But thanks to you to try helping me... It's generous...

(PS : excuse me for my english again...)

it seems either, that other people (non english ...) have strange troubles on their PC's since V3 ...
