The custom toolbar looks like this:



This happens because the search path for the images are no longer defined in AutoCAD. The first step is to locate the images via Windows Explorer. They are most likely saved under a similar path to this:

C:\Documents and Settings\[user profile name]\Application Data\Autodesk\[product name]\[release number]\[language]\Support\Icon

Take note of the actual path.

Return to AutoCAD and go to menu ToolsOptions. Select the File tab and go to "Support File Search Path".

Click Add and Browse to define the search path to the icon folder as below,


 
or copy them into the following folder:

C:\Documents and Settings\<user profile name>\Application Data\Autodesk\<product name>\<release number>\<language>\Support\Icons

similiar to this:

C:\Documents and Settings\Admin\Application Data\Autodesk\AutoCAD 2008\R17.1\enu\Support\Icons
