Project Explorer issue

I created a project in LabVIEW 7.1 and moved it to 8.0.  When I refresh the dependencies, one of my dll's has a blue question mark next to it.  When I right click on the icon, I have the Explore option to search for the dll.  When I choose this option, nothing happens.  I had two dll's with this issue and I was able to use Explore to find it.  The program also runs with this dll having the question mark.
 
What do I do to resolve this issue?
 
Thank you in advance for you help.

I actually saw the same icon earlier today when adding VIs using CIN nodes with no associated .lsb file.  I found the following blurb about the blue icon in the LabVIEW help.

"LabVIEW cannot find the default editor for the item. For example, if the item is a Microsoft Word document and Word is not installed on the computer, this icon appears next to the item."

Are you getting this when you have the VI loaded in memory, or all the time?  If you don't want them there, you can remove them from the dependencies category.  This won't effect the VIs operation, but you won't have the icons.  Basically there is nothing wrong, as you might have guessed since you can run the programs with no issue.

Hope this helps!
