 |
|
| When I make an Icon in paint I save it with the .ico extension, but wen I try to make it my VB app's icon it says FP.ico is not a valid icon (FP being what I named it). anyone know how I can fix this?

You can't make .ICO files in Paint. Let me guess, you saved it as .BMP (Or something else) and renamed the extension?

Same thing as what I said. You used a different image type filter, and changed the extension.
EDIT: Resave the image as .png, give it to me and I'll give you a valid icon file.

Well, I have a light-weight image viewer that can convert any format. I've already sent him the icon.
