Welcome to the HeavyMetalPro Forums

Say: Seems like I'm missing the icons from across the top on most, if not all, my HMx programs; What should I do?

Try the "customize toolbar" option and see if you can add them back...

I think there was a previous discussion about the toolbar that involved ListEX.ocx...I don't remember the specifics (and search here has never really worked for me) so you might need to wait until Rick arrives to answer your question.

I do seem to recall the fix was pretty easy though...

Actually, ListEX.ocx is the control used to MODIFY the toolbar. So, if you right-click on the toolbar, or go to Options > Customize Toolbar, a screen that uses that control is displayed. If the program crashes at that time, chances are ListEX is not installed correctly. (ListEX is used for a few other things too, dependent on which program is used.)

Displaying the toolbar buttons themselves is using a standard Toolbar control, which is part of the standard Windows Common Controls (mscomctl.ocx), which includes a bunch of other controls as well. I'd expect some errors to be displayed if that control were not working.

It's possible the configuration for the toolbars got messed up, but that's pretty unlikely across multiple programs. Each program's INI has lines like:

[ToolBar]
BigScreen=ABCDZEFZGHZIJKLMNOPRSTZ

There may be other screen sizes for other screens (Elite, Regular, etc.). Anyhow, you can always rename your hvypro.ini file, which means the program will start using default values, and should certainly show some toolbar icons. If not, then it's not an INI thing (meaning you can name your renamed INI back), but apparently the OCX thing.

Assuming mscomctl.ocx is in your System32 directory, from the command line when in that directory, you can enter the line:

regsvr32 mscomctl.ocx

You should get a message saying that registration suceeded. Let me know the results, and we'll go from there.

.ini change had no benefit.

.ini reverted; checking System32 subdirctory . . .

"MSCOMCTL.OCX" is an "ActiveX control", with it's names in all caps, unlike the rest of the directory, eh?

Stand by . . .

From RegSvr32: "The module "mscomctl.ocx" may not compatible with the version of Windows that you're running. Check if the module is compatible with an x86 (32-bit) or x64 (64-bit) version of regsvr32.exe."

Got off my ass and cd'ed over to windows\system32, and now it worked . . .

An update: Just noticed that I have all the icons back.

I'm pretty shore it didn't happen when I added more memory, a couple of weeks ago; I updated my video driver about a week ago, but might not have started up any of the effected programs between then and now . . .
