Re: Can't see PNG images !

Have been away for a few days and other diversion but have worked through
(some) of your requests...

I can't see any graphs (all .png) but I see all .gif on thee BBC page. I
don't have a problem with .jpg or any other image file type.

If I run 'regsvr32 /i shimgvw.dll' I receive 'DllRegisterServer and
DllInstall in shimgvw.dll succeeded' but it doesn't do anything to my
filetype or associations!

When I run assoc and ftype I receive following:
For .png files I have:
C:\>assoc | find /i "png"
..png=pngfile

C:\>ftype | find /i "png"
pngfile="C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\PhotoEd\PHOTOED.EXE"
"%1"

For .gif files I have:
C:\>assoc | find /i "gif"
..gif=giffile

C:\>ftype | find /i "gif"
giffile="C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\PhotoEd\PHOTOED.EXE"
"%1"

My results for following command 'C:\>ftype | find /i "imageview"' are:

emffile=rundll32.exe C:\WINNT\system32\shimgvw.dll,ImageView_Fullscreen %1
Paint.Picture=rundll32.exe
C:\WINNT\system32\shimgvw.dll,ImageView_Fullscreen %1
pjpegfile=rundll32.exe C:\WINNT\system32\shimgvw.dll,ImageView_Fullscreen %1
TIFImage.Document=rundll32.exe
C:\WINNT\system32\shimgvw.dll,ImageView_Fullscreen %1
wmffile=rundll32.exe C:\WINNT\system32\shimgvw.dll,ImageView_Fullscreen %1

Now I see that I have missing from my list, compared to yours, entries for
giffile and pngfile but what is a mystery to me is that I can view .gif OK
but NOT .png. If this really is my problem how do I recover the missing
entries for giffile and pngfile under 'imageview'???
