Question
Hello Scott,

Recently I was updating the "Acad.mnu" file in R2005 and after running "menu" at the command line all my toolbars now have a question mark & cloud. For some reason the only one that is okay is the toolbar "object properties".  

Can you help?

thank you in advance.

Answer
You are missing a folder in your autocad OPTIONS->search path.
I don't have 2005 anymore, but it seems to me those bitmaps are stored in a DLL file, probably in the base autocad installation folder.
Add that folder to your search path, delete the acad.mnc and acad.mnr files, and restart autocad. This will force a recompile of the bitmaps, and they will appear if you have added the proper folder to the search path. If they don't, try a different folder and repeat.
