Nothing happens when i click on a picture. If I right
click and say preview, nothing happens. If I right click
and say open with Windows picture and fax viewer, nothing
happens. If i click slide show on the picture task bar,
nothing happens.

It seems as if the program is gone, but there isn't any
message telling me its missing and the computer thinks
that the picture is open or something. Just no
response.

Thats about as good as I can describe it.

Thanks
 
Do a search of your Hard Drive for shimgvw.dll and see if you can locate the
DLL file, if you do run "regsvr32 shimgvw.dll" again

If not then search for it on your Windows XP CD copy it into this folder
C:\WINDOWS\system32

I found it in my windows32 folder but it still says not
found. I ran it with the full path and it still says not
found. My windows cd has a file called shimgvw.dl but
not dll. What now?

Thanks BTW

Click to expand...
================================
Try this:

go to...Start / Run and type:

"REGSVR32 SHIMGVW.DLL"
(without the quotes)(Yes, there's
a space between 2 and S)

Click...OK.

Also try...

"regsvr32 %windir%\system32\shimgvw.dll"
(without the quotes)(Yes, there's
a space between 2 and %)
