In the past I was able to assign keywords, titles, subject, etc information
directly by clicking properties and summary. About 6-8 weeks ago this
suddenly became impossible. The area to enter this information appears but
after the information is entered it disappears. THe files are not read only
and I have administrative rights. I am using XP Pro. Any suggestions? THis
is driving me crazy. COuld this be related to the Metafile fix issued in
early January? Thanks

=========================================

No guarantees...but try this,
maybe it will restore the option:

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"

John,

I will certainly share it. Adobe says it is a MIcrosoft issue but I am not
sure. I have a quest.
 
When you right click on a picture and then click on Properties on the
opening menu, a window will open.
You should see only two tabs: General and Summary.
If you see a third with something like "Pictures" or "Custom" some software
placed it there. It may or may not be Adobe. But if there is a third tab,
entering anything under the Summary tab will be like you wrote: you write
what you want but it does not "take" or "stay" after you click on Apply or
OK.
This problem has been reported here before, but not frequently and I have
not seen a solution for this.
 
You are correct! I have a third tab called pictures. Thanks, eventhough this
makes me more suspicious of Adobe since this problem only started when I
loaded Photoshop elements. Thanks, again for the lead.
