Icons can be empty, if there are too many "USER objects", and the system can not handle it. "USER object" is a kind of system resource, and and refers to interface elements such as icons and buttons. ArchiCAD has lots of them. Try switching off all other applications and see if it helps.

Your reseller is probably right that this is not an ArchiCAD bug, but rather a glitch in your system.

Hello,

if it is not an archicad 10 bug then it is a microsoft bug.
I reinstalled windows xp home service pack 1 (and all my programs) and it work fine now.

I just spent 3 days about this sh....really nice

I advice to check up if Archi 10 still work after each update or
new installation...

Thanks for your help

service pack 1 ???

I close friend of me was struggling for weeks with AC 10 because of invisible tool palettes. AC 9 was working correctly.

Seemed he had skipped all software updates of WIN XP for over two years. Installing Service Pack 2 did the job.

"Installing Service Pack 2 did the job."

well I have no idea why but I was not able to update my OS to
service pack 2 (my computer was absolutely not happy about it). I had to re-install pack 1 instead (with my original Cd).
It is a microsoft issue but what kind of issue...I do not know

Hi! At me too this problem, has tried all. Reinstalled Windows, but it has not helped. Precisely to define(determine) because of what there is such problem, who can not.
I wish good luck!

hello Style,

I don't know if this may help, but when you reinstall the windows xp
you need to avoid a repair installation (It repairs usually nothing).
Do a complete reinstallation
You will so need to install all programs again
Good luck
