The patch may fix the problem you are having, however it's primary purpose is to allow you to play the game without the CD
This is how you apply the patch:
1-go to the folder where you installed sonic riders (eg. C:\program files\sonic riders)
2-Rename the patch/fix that you found to SONICRIDERS.EXE
3-Cut/copy the fix to the game directory where you will see another file already there with the same name. Click paste here, and when it asks to overwrite, click yes.
When you run the game now, it should work, and it also won't require the disk to play
Hope this helps,
Good luck

I would be more specific, but I don't know where you installed the game
You will need to find this before you can do anything else.
It's ok if you can't remember the place you installed the game, just search for it.

Rename the patch so that it has the same name as the launcher, and cop/paste it into the folder, choosing yes when it asks you if you want to overwrite.
PS - the other icon is probably just that: an icon(image)
Hope this helps

All I can think of is that you might want to un-install the game, then re-install it
