I am not sure about the problems you are having with FIFA2K2, but the shortcut arrow issue is directly related to a Windows Critical Update (Unchecked Buffer in Windows Shell Could Lead to Code Running [Q313829]) dated March 7, 2002.  This update installs version 4.721.3812.600 of shell32.dll which ignores the registry setting that TweakUI uses to customize the shortcut arrow.

Read http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?...b;EN-US;q313829 for more information.  If you are confident that you will never be affected by this scenario, do the following:

Run System File Checker (Start>Run>SFC)

Select \"Extract on file from installation disk\" (have your WIN98SE CD handy if you haven\'t copied the CABs to your HD)

Have SFC search for shell32.dll

Have SFC make a backup of the newer version that was installed from the Critical Update

Have SFC replace the newer version of shell32.dll with the original version

Reboot, and you\'re all set

Hope this helps...
