Most likely a bug by the programmer that created the install file or the
program you are running isn't designed for Vista. In the Start menu go to the
item, right click and then select properties at the bottom of the pop up
screen. Look at the location of the exe file in the Target box. Press the
change icon button and the programs icons could be displayed. If not then hit
the browse button at navigate to the exe file, select it and then choose an
icon. If for some reason the icons are not displayed when you go to the exe
file then you should go back to the alternate icons offered by Vista and use
one of those.
