Apple Remote Desktop Toolbar Icons Missing

http://gallery.me.com/paulhaberle#100006

I have Apple Remote Desktop under OS 10.6.6.

I recently reinstalled it because I stopped getting report data from my workstations.

But now the ARD toolbar is missing icons.

How do I get them back without damaging my ARD database?

I can still use ARD okay and I am getting my report data but it's an aesthetic thing.

I have attached a link to a photo to show you what I see.

My worry is that if I reinstall Apple Remote Desktop again, the database repsonsible for the data reporting will be lost.

Thanks for your help in advance.

Control click in the toolbar, or pull down the View menu and select "Customize Toolbar..."

Thank you Brian for the reply.

However when I see the Customize Toolbar options, I see missing icons there too. The options to display Text or Icons or Small Icons or Icons with Text makes no difference.

It looks like Apple Remote Desktop is missing the resources containing the icons.

My present Toolbar has a mixture of text and icons with text showing.

My Dock shows ARD as a white application icon, not the usual binoculars with Desktop.

I am running ARD v. 3.4.

Well, that doesn't sound good. My only thoughts are that either the application was installed incompletely, or not correctly registered with Launch Services.

If it's the later, copying the application to a different volume, deleting it, and copying it back to the Applications folder should fix it. If it's the former, a re-install is your only option.
