    I just installed the latest drivers for my Diamondback and it chanegd my C: drive icon to the razer logo. ! I haven't been able to get it to change back either. I've been playing with reg keys and everything else I can think to do. I even deleted the icon file, but now I just have the default icon for when there is no icon. I just fixed this thing cause I love it, but I'm about to uninstall the drivers and throw it in the trash.

    What OS are you running? If you are running WinXP Home Edition 32-bit, here is the file path of the missing icon. This was retrieved by right clicking on the C:\ drive, choosing properties form the context menu and clicking the Icon tab.

    C:\WINDOWS\system32\shell32.dll,8

    If copy/pasting this file path does not work, you should be able to just click on the Change Icon and choose the original icon again...

    That's the thing, the icon tab is missing.

    edit- I uninstalled the driver. Now I have my normal icon back. It's pretty sad that I have to choose between an ugly bulky hard drive icon and my driver. The default windows driver works fine. I just lose on the fly sensitivity changes.

    That is very odd... I wonder if contacting Razer directly would help solve your problem.
