I downloaded the new upgrade (VERY large and time
comsuming) yesterday. Now, when I try to open my
pictures with the usual double-click, I only get a blank
screen. I found that I can right-click, select 'open
with', select windows,etc. and it will open the picture.
However, every time that I want to view a picture, I must
go through these same procedures. Does anyone know how
that I can fix it so that all that I have to do is the
simple double-click?
 
After clicking on Open with, click on Choose program on the opening menu. A
window will open, select Windows Pictures and Fax viewer and check the box
"Always open...."
Also, click on Start, click on Run and type the following in the opening
textbox:
REGSVR32 SHIMGVW.DLL
and press the Enter key.
Note that there is a space between ...32 and SHI...
This will take a few seconds to run and your double click function on photo
files should then return.
