Skinning Icons.... HELP PLZ!

Im trying to skin some icons for my map but for some reason its not working :\

Heres what happens i followed everything correctly on importing it and renameing it, and i saved my map and closed WE and restarted it. Then i took a ability like devour and gave it the custom icon but it doesnt show the preview :\ well i tried testing it in game it all works well until i select that unit with devour and game crashes and i get a fatal error plz help me i want to learn how to do this right

You have to restart WE????

yea i read in a tut. on skinning that after u import it that u needed to save ur map then close out of WE then bring WE back up and open ur map then give the icon to something but i did this... and it should of let me preview the icon but it didn't :/

And i still need help....

Did you save icons as blp with alpha channel?
