Suddenly and for no apparent reason, I cannot open any
grpahics files. I receive an error message indicating
that the file type (e.g., tif, jpg) is not recognized
or "is not found in the registry." I have tried running
help/detect and repair with no change. How do I restore
this without reinstalling Windows completely, losing
updated drivers (e.g., printers) or otherwise creating
havoc?
 
The easiest method; While in Explorer, right click on a file of the type in
question, then choose "Open With", "Choose Program", then choose and check
the box for "Always use this program....."
