[Virtualacorn-list] Missing configure icons

[Chris Shepheard]

I've just upgraded VARPC-SA to run on a Windows 8.1 laptop. After the 
fixes to get the registration box to work and disabling ATAPI, it runs 
fine.

However when I double click on !Boot all the configure icons are 
missing including those inside the directories within.

Searching and finding the relevant configuration programs within the 
boot sequence, again the application/directory sprites are nearly all 
the default grey "App" icon.

Looking inside the !Sprites22 files are all there but there is no 
plain !Sprites file which it would appear is what the application 
!Boot file is looking for.

Also the Winsetup application would not run because of "Missing 
Sprites file". Copying "Sprites" as "Sprites22" within the app. 
directory cured this.

Anybody got any idea why this peculiar behaviour might have happened? 
Could it be a corrupt installation? How can I cure, preferably without 
the convoluted performance of using Compatibility Mode to get the 
registration box again?

All the other sprites within the various directories seem to be fine.

Chris
