I can't seem to activate my Windows Picture and Fax Viewer. Even
though I kept clicking on the pics as instructed in the help menu. I
can't seem to preview any of my pics at all.
The only way to view them is to open photoshop to view them.
Thanks, really appreciated.

==================================
Maybe you installed a program that hijacked
your image associations...have a look at the
following links...and if that doesn't solve it...
Try the REGSVR32 Command at the bottom
of this message:
Have a look at this article:
(307859) HOW TO: Change File Associations
in Windows XP
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=307859
More info:
Try this...open an image folder and right click one
of your image files...from the menu, select...Open
With / Choose Program.
Make your choice from the list or Browse to the
correct program if it is not in the list.
If you want the default...choose..."Windows
Picture and Fax viewer"
Once you make your selection...be sure to check
the box that says: "Always use the selected program
to open this kind of file". (you will need to do this
for each format....jpg, .tif, .gif...etc.)
Also...you can right click an image and choose
Properties / Change Button...choose the program
you wish to use and click...OK / Apply / OK.
Also...in WinXP, you can go to...My Computer /
Tools / Folder Options / File Types tab...
And the following links may be useful:
Repair image file type associations in Windows XP

===
Try this, maybe it will restore the option:
go to...Start / Run and type
(or copy/paste):
"REGSVR32 SHIMGVW.DLL"
(without the quotes)(Yes, there's
a space between 2 and S)
Click...OK.
A dialog box should report the following:
"DllRegisterServer in SHIMGVW.DLL succeeded"
