I tried to rotate some pictures in "my Pictures" and I got a notice .....
(rotating the image may reduce the quality....) and I meant to say yes but I
said no and now it will not allow me to rotate he image or any others that
were downloaded at the same time.

I tried the ctrl key when closing and I ran the REGSVR32 SHIMGVW.DLL but
neither allows me to rotate those images.

Any suggestions appreciated.

Here's what I have on the subject...
good luck...

If you previously checked "In the future do not
show me this dialog box" when a dialog warned
about the possibility of reducing the quality of
your images, the following fix may restore your
option to rotate.

Open a picture in the Windows Picture And Fax
Viewer. Hold down the Ctrl key and left click the
X in the top right corner of the window.

If that did not restore your option to rotate...

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.

A dialog box should report the following:

"DllRegisterServer in SHIMGVW.DLL succeeded"
 
Neither of these have worked. Any other suggestions or do you know where I
may go for help?
 
This kind of problem has been reported here before and there is a way to
getting this rotation back. Someone posted a very simple solution, but I
just can't remember what it is.
A way around it is to rotate using free software available here:
www.faststone.org
Just rotate the picture with it and next time you open Windows Picture and
Fax Viewer the picture will open properly.
 
Hi Rob,

Perhaps this will help... You said you were in "My Pictures" when you said
no to the dialog. If that's the case, the trick about holding down CTRL
while clicking the X button to close, will not work with the My Pictures
folder. It does work with Windows Picture and Fax Viewer though and will
reset warnings for My Pictures as well.

To fix, right-click a picture in your My Pictures folder and click Preview.
Windows Picture and Fax Viewer should open. Hold down CTRL and click the X
button in the upper right of the window. You should get a dialog that says
warnings have been reset. Click OK.
Now go back to My Pictures and see if you can rotate.

Let us know how that goes,

Thanks,
