Hey all!
I have had an 'icon problem' for a while and it seems nothing can fix it. It has come to my last option- re-installing Windows 7. What I would like to know is: Can I re-install Windows 7 without my files getting deleted (Pics, music, Download etc.) ?
All help appreceiated,

You would have to back-up all of your files. By this I mean get an external HD or Mass Memory Storage Device and save all files (pictures, documents, etc) that you want to keep. Then re-install your OS.
Either that or you could try a system restore, that way you get to keep your files, but it
may not fix your problem.
before you do that, you might want to check if your computers important files are working properly or if they are corrupted.
go into cmd.exe (command prompt)
type in: sfc /scannow
when the scan is finished it will tell you whether or not it found any errors.
Hey 101!! Nice to see you on SF! You could try saving your important files to an external hard drive/ usb then system restoring if nothing else works.
Thanks for heads up guys but i found a solution to my problem. No repair/installation required!
Could you please describe, what an "icon problem" is? We could help you with that instead of re-installing windows.

It is solved already. But the thing i would like to know is that how did you actually solve it? Because if someone faces a problem similiar to yours we would have a answer to the problem and a way into fixing it.
