Re: Unable to Display Local GIF

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

Hi,
It does sound like it might be a bad file, but...
Longshots...
1. Check the registry settings in
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;307239
2. If you have these registry keys, export them (just in case) then delete
them.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\PROTOCOLS\Name-Space Handler\ftp
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\PROTOCOLS\Name-Space Handler\http

GetRight installs these keys, but uninstalling GetRight doesn't remove the
keys.

Hope this helps,
