Possibly, go to Options and choose Refresh App Icons. (This is a feature in 2.0 beta 3, not sure how far back the feature goes.)
Pretty sure this happened to me once before. Not sure if that fixed it, but it'd be the first thing you tried. Apologies in advance if you've already done it.
Also, if you've just moved to Vista, try reinstalling the menu. It shouldn't change any settings you may have set. Portable apps should be Windows-version independent, and are in my experience, barring anything before Windows 2000, of course. But just in case your menu is used to a pre-Vista environment and hasn't "caught on" that you're using Vista, a reinstall should solve that problem.

I just installed the new beta, and tried the refresh app icons. Nothing. Maybe if someone teamviewer'd with me they could fix it?

Is anything else in the OS running that may be a little unusual? Any docks or icon managers? Are your video drivers up to date? The OS isn't an nlite/vlite minimal install is it?
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!

No, I don't have any dock or icon managers. I believe my drivers are up to date, I use Uniblue DriverScanner regularly.

Been working with him with TeamViewer (wow, impressively clunky!) and I think that Uniblue SpeedUpMyPC 2009 ("2 minutes can save you months of frustration and crashes." - I wonder... possibly ironic) is over-optimising some Windows settings. He's undone them and is restarting... we'll see what happens.
