| | WLM Tab Icons Show up as Question Marks I have about 6 tabs in WLM 8.5 that show up as blue question marks. I have uninstalled, reinstalled, tried repairing, etc. The original icons will not come back for some reason. Environment: Windows Vista 32-bit WLM 8.5.1302.1018 Any help would be appreciated. |

| | Re: WLM Tab Icons Show up as Question Marks Greetings, If I recall (been awhile since I saw this), if they're question marks then it's not been able to download the corresponding graphics.

| | Re: WLM Tab Icons Show up as Question Marks Thank you Jonathan. Found out it was the Webroot Spy Sweeper Comman Ad Sites Shield that was blocking these from showing up.
