Thomas,

I think that those file type associations only apply when you open
a local file having that extension. That is why I asked you to test
using the TIF viewer. Your observations from what happens when
you open a web file versus a local file might be useful clues.
I was mostly trying to get you to explore the scope of the symptom
and related issues.

The regsvr32 /i shimgvw.dll command has in the past restored
defaults and helped make .tiff files (specifically) renderable by IE.
I'm not sure why it wouldn't have the same effect with .png files.

Perhaps you should have tried uninstalling your other app instead
of overriding it?

BTW is your other app also on your other machine? <eg>
