..PNG files no longer display.
Instead, I get little place holders with a red x.
How do I re-associate within IE7.
Thanks

On my Vista PC the file extension .PNG is associated with Windows Photo Gallery.
Go to Program Defaults to change the file associations.

Try this:
Start -> Run... -> regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\pngfilt.dll (and click OK).

I think the OP wants IE to display .png pictures as he browses, but not
necessarily have IE as the default application to open files with a .png
extension on his hard drive if he clicks on one.

But all othe graphics do display properly? If no graphics display, try this.
There is a setting in IE - Tools - Inernet Options - Advanced tab
scroll down to Multimedia and verify that 'show image download placeholders'
is not checked and 'show pictures' is checked.

I have tried all fixes outlined in this newsgroup and nothing has helped. I
can right click on a red x displayed image and copy and paste to desktop and
open the image with every program but IE7/Vista. Firefox works fine as well.
I have tried this as well:
regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\pngfilt.dll
I am using a brand new HP dv9000 that came with Vista Premium installed.
After just one week of running the ability to display .png images in IE7 has
gone away.
I have tried running IE7 with no add ons. I've removed and reinstalled
QuickTime. I have turned off my Eset NOD32 AV software. Show pictures is
checked in advanced settings. All other image types display fine.
Help!

This issue is affecting me too. IE does not display .png images. All other
images display correctly. My registry has the mentioned entry, but it still
does not work.
I did some testing and found that if I log on as another user (IE: guest),
then .png images display in IE7. Also, if I run IE as Administrator, .png's
display. Furthermore, if I turn of UAC, .png's display.
Only when I am logged on to my account, with UAC enabled, the .png's are
blocked from IE. Everything else is working fine. I have tried re-setting
IE back to factory settings, disabling all add-ins, turning off protected
mode and phishing filters. My Multimedia settings in Advanced Options are
correct.
Lots of articles point to re-registering the pngfilt.dll file, but it is
registered properly with the latest version. Also, if I try to re-register
it using regsvr32, I get the same error message discussed in the 3/25 post.
I believe this is a direct result of a problem with UAC. I still want to
keep UAC enabled, but I would like to correct this problem without running IE
as Admin all the time.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

I'm sorry to say that for the first time ever, I downloaded and installed
Firefox. This is the only solution that I can come up with now. I've spent
countless days trying to run down a solution for this, but I can't waste
anymore time.
Firefox is working, so until more information is available, I am not going
to use IE. At least I don't have to sacrifice UAC.
I'm not giving up, its just that there is not a lot of information on this
or the only information that is available relates to Windows XP.
Good Luck! If anyone finds a solution, please post it here.

Well, you could always use Firefox for general web browsing and when you need
to look at a BMW page, use IE for that (unless they use .png's)
I am using Firefox for almost everything, except 1 site that will not load
under Firefox. Then I just open it in IE.
I'm sure this is temporary. MSFT has always been responsive when it comes
to correcting issues. Once they add this to the list of things to fix, it
will be corrected. Will probably take some time, but I have faith in them.

In case this has not been done yet, I filed a "bug report" to Microsoft today
regarding this issue.
I will post back here if I get an answer.
Good Luck everyone!

Turning of UAC did it for me! Funny thing is nobody has noticed or mentioned
that the problem with IE7 displaying .png files is related to installing
FireFox. I just bought a new PC with Vista Home Premium and everything was
running fine until my friend said, "when are you going to install firefox?"
And I did, and that's when IE7 stopped displaying .png's Why it has anything
to do with UAC, I'm not sure, but turning of UAC got IE7 to display .pngs,
bottom line... Thanks for your support guys, saved me $60 by not having to
use Microsoft support... Rediculous...
Thanks,

I'm using the same computer...HPdv9207. I followed a recommendation posted
on this forum that was so simple and it worked fine. Which is: right click
your IE icon on the desktop and open under "run as administrator". Voila!
PNG's are right where they should be. Until Microsoft comes up with a fix
for this problem I'll being using this method.
