For some reason or another Im having this problem with some of pictures not
showing their images. The name is still there and the file size to. But when
I click on a jpeg icon I get No Previw aval=ilable. How can I get these
pictures back? These are very important files to me. Im runing WinXP.

You didn't happen to run regsvr32 /u shimgvw.dll or disable "windows
fax and picture viewer" over the latest exploit did you?

If so your going to need install a graphic viewer (www.Irfranview.com)
and go without thumbnails in explorer.

Did you implement the suggested fix for the <shmgvw.dll> exploit by
unregistering that .dll?? If so, the Windows Image and Fax viewer will not
function, along with the thumbnail viewer. If this is the case, be aware
that opening a pic file in Paint, Irfanview or just about any other viewer,
will present a vector for comprimise.

To mitigate this threat, execute...

REGSVR32 /u SHIMGVW.DLL

When Microsoft releases a patch the DLL can be re-registered.

REGSVR32 SHIMGVW.DLL

Heirloom, old and if not, nevermind

Trax,
Irfanview, Paint, and most all of the other pic viewers are still
vulnerable to the comprimise. The following site offers another method, I
haven't tried it, can't vouch for it, take no responsibility for it.

Looks like your right, Irfanview doesn't have native WMF support.

I use ACDsee have for years and it has native WMF support
http://www.oldversion.com/program.php?n=acdsee
I still use 3.1 as it's the best I feel - yet does have certain quirks
under XP.
