Windows Explorer icons turn black

Friends: I have noticed all my VLC media icons in Windows Explorer have turned into black squares. Initially for a split second they have the original colours, then they get repainted in black. The script is still visible below each icon. The icon still plays the media when double clicked, but I still want the original icons back. I tried icon rebuild and reinstalling VLC, same problem. Any ideas how to fix this? Windows XP Pro. Thanks for any help.

Greetings.

I'd suggest bumping your HJT log thread and see what those guys have to offer first off:
