Can you help me? You have helped others, and I am cluless about this
problem. I cannot open photos any more. I get an error that read
"invalid menu handle". I have no idea why or what to do about it.
=====================================
I don't have a specific answer for you but maybe
some of the following info will help:
First, it may be worth a try to run the following
command:
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"
Next...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...

Another possible:

"Extension"=".jpe"
replace .jpe with .jpg
save and do a reboot
