Groove Workspace Shortcut icon is white

After installing Office 2007 Professional and setting up the groove, my workspace shortcut icons are white and there is no options to change them in the properties. Normally there is a "customization" tab that you can get to, to change icons. But not with these. An uninstall/reinstall was done with no change. This has never happened before, though this is the first x64 bit system I've used.

Can someone point me in the right direction?

GreggRN,
Refer link for 64-bit requirements.

Note where it says "The 2007 Microsoft Office system programs client is a 32-bit application and can run on a Windows 64-bit platform (Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, and Windows Vista) but there may be some feature limitations as noted in the system requirements below." [You will be able to check your Office Suite on the link supplied.]


It might be worth running Office Diagnostics to see if it helps.

I get it, really I do. But to the original question...can I change the icon?

Now I've noticed this...If I create a folder on the desktop, I can easily change the icon to a "Groove" icon. So I know that the icon itself can be displayed in x64 vista. Can anyone point me to where in Vista the Groove workspace is located? I know where it is in 32bit Vista, but that location isn't present in x64. I believe that if I create a shortcut from there, I may be able to apply the appropriate icon.
