Properties Summary Advanced has no values for jpg files

[Guest]

Hello,

I have Windows XP Professional. My problem is with windows-explorer. Explorer does not show the EXIF information in jpeg files anymore although the file still contains the EXIF information (tested on other computers and special camera software).

It shows in 2 ways.
1) When I right click on a file and choose properties-Summary - Advanced. The Property Value column is empty and has no values.
That goes only for jpg files doc files for example are ok.

2) If I am in a folder and choose View - Details and add column that show informations on files. I can add the column such as "date picture taken" , " Camera Model " and "Dimensions" but they have no values. Values such as "Size", "Type", "Name", "Date Created", "Owner" ARE OK but all specific values fore pictures are empty
Best regards
Valdimar Helgason

Hi Valdimar,
Only option which I can think of is to Unregister and Re-register Shimgvw.dll
Click Start/Run and type regsvr32 /u shimgvw.dll
Then type, regsvr32 shimgvw.dll
Restart Windows.
This fixes the PropertyHandler value (default) at:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\image\ShellEx\PropertyHandler
Apart from this, a later version of shimgvw.dll *might* help.

(This is definitely a higher version than the one included in XP SP1 - 6.0.2800.1106)
