the icons are .ico files and the reason i wanted a 32 bit icon is because the way the application is displayes in the web page looks broken. When my web interface can support a better quality i thought of using icons that look good instead of the poor icons. the icons that come with the application exe are 4 bit only. i tried extracting the icon files from the appiication exe and this is what i am getting. then i thought maybe i could improve the icon myself and hence the question. thanks for the reply and please suggest what can be done

Ahh, that's good information -- the files named ".ico" are a special case. You can learn more about them here:

You can create and edit them here:

They are not the same as ".png" images which have become my favorite for web art; the favicon files require a special editor.
