Re: problems seeing the pics without clicking on them

Not only did you help Barry and Joe, but I had the exact same problem and
read your disscussion and Bingo, the registry command that John first
mentioned fixed everything. Thanks for the great support for us amatures!

BINGO!!! Thanks very much Yves, and John if you are reading this. I
tried
the version using /i and it worked immediately. It was a joy watching all
the icons chsange to pictures! Problem solved - thanks for your time and
trouble. I hope the originator of this thread, JoeDenyer, has also
benefited.

This is the first time I have used the Windows XP Newsgroups (the only
previous experience of newsgroups being with Sibelius, which is also
excellent) and I really appreciate the time and trouble you have both
taken
to help me.

I think I need more caffeine. The extra /i is needed if you want to
re-install Windows Picture and Fax Viewer. In your case, the extra /i is
needed because Windows Picture and Fax Viewer is not listed on the
available
list of software. So you have to get it back (re-install). The extra i/
is
to do so. So the command to type in should be:
REGSVR32 /i SHIMGVW.DLL

Sorry about the "d".
As John said, if you run it there will be no problem created, but no
repair
either!
So, remove the "d". My fault.
The extra /i is different. If you run the command without the extra /i
you
simply register back the association of image files with Windows
Picture
and
Fax viewer. However, in your case, Windows Picture and Fax Viewer is
not
there. So the extra /i is not get it back.

Thanks, Yves. I don't want to sound ungrateful, but can you see
John
Inzer's
post to this thread? His suggestion is almost identical to yours,
but
you
have the extra /i and a d between the v and w that he doesn't have.
As
it
seems to be the registry that we are delving into, I'm nervous about
entering
an inaccurate command which might do something bad to the registry.
I
assume
the entry can be made in lower or upper case. Any thoughts on these
points?

Click on Start, click on Run and type the following in the textbox
(or
copy
the following and paste it in the textbox) and press the Enter
key;

regsvr32 /i shimgvdw.dll

If you type it, note that there is a space between ...32 and /i
and

is a space between /i and shi...

This will take a second to run and should add the Windows Picture
and
Fax
viewer on the list. You may have to reboot after the installation
but
I
don't think so.

Yves, I think you have identified the problem, but I don't have
Windows
Picture and Fax Viewer on either the Recomended or the Other
Programs
list.
The default program is Microsoft Photo Editor. Any thoughts on
how
I
could
acquire Windows Picture and Fax Viewer?

You may have a different problem.
Open a photo folder.
Right click on a photo.
Click on Open with on the opening menu.
Click on Choose program at the bottom of the opening list.
A list will open, click on Windows Picture and Fax Viewer and
click
on
the
box "Always.....".

Thanks, Yves, but it doesn't work for me. I have tried
clicking
on
the
Views icon and all I get is fewer of the same icons, but in
a
larger
size,
on the screen.

There is a Views icon on your top bar after you open a
folder
containing
photos. Click on it and select Thumbnails.
