Re: Windows Picture & Fax Viewer problem / and Thumbs

Try to run the following:
Click on Start, click on Run and type the following in the textbox:
REGSVR32 SHIMGVW.DLL
and press the Enter key.
Note that there is a space between ...32 and SHI...
This will take a second to run and you should get a success message. If you
get an error message, tell us what the error is.
