Also check out this thread (http://forums.augi.com/showthread.php?t=26366&p=194431). In addition to that, have you tried repairing the install of ABS? It may be missing some files. ANother thing you could try is to type EXPRESSTOOLS or EXPRESSMENU at the command line as this may reload the menu's.

Also, please note I've moved this over to the ABS 2006 forum as the product you are working with is ABS 2006.

When you say service pack 2 (in a four disc set) you mean disc two? IF so yes.

The thing to do is.

If you missed the express in the installation, you must reinstall and put it on. Now the symbols works fine, but they are all marked with a "?".

Type then CUI on the command line, and find partial CUI files. Here you find express, and under tools you find one of the express icons. Pretend you want to chance an icon, and save. Now all the icons are visible.
