Does anyone know why properly built icons, that work for some people, 
766 byte recommendations that is on Windows, don't work for me on 
Windows XP Pro. I was able to use the AOL icon that was 24 +kbts to 
work. Inside it was six different icons. When I use a single icon file 
766 bytes I get a message saying that I need a 25064 sized file, 16 
color.

Has anyone seen this message saying that a 25064 sized file, 16 color 
is required?

Does anyone know if Windows XP Pro has an icon solution that Rev will 
work with?

Is there a plain looking icon that I can use to package my software 
with for Windows?

I've done everything that the archives has recommended. I even tried 
redrawing the artwork in the AOL icons. That ended up getting rejected.

I can't believe that at the very end it all breaks down because of an 
icon.

Someone sent me an icon that works for them but it does not work for me 
in XP Pro. I wonder, was that icon a workable solution on a Windows XP 
Pro machine.

Thanks for any help,

Mark
