Slow scrolling in image preview

[J]

When I Preview an image (Windows Picture and Fax Viewer), scrolling/moving
the image is very slow. Even happens with very small images like 768x1024
jpg's. Clicking the up/down scroll buttons only move picture by 1 pixel or
something it seems--maybe that indicates something? Any ideas? Thanks.

Forgot to mention:
P4 3.2 GHz, 1GBRAM, AsusP5GD2. Nothing else is slow or anything and it's
been this way from the start.

Are your display drivers up do date, if not, try and update them.

* by "nothing else is slow" do you mean nothing is slow even when you
have the picture open? - or device manager does not show high cpu
activity when pic is open?

Thanks for replying. I actually meant other things like maybe dragging
windows or indeed scrolling the image in another application, are normal.
CPU usage is around 50% when I drag the scroll bar. My drivers are 1 or 2
updates out of date so maybe I'll try that.

Also,

Hve you tried to restore your file associations for it?

try reinstalling with this

click on Start, Run... and type in:

regsvr32 /i shimgvw.dll
that will reinstall it - and it's associations. (or you could go into
folder properties and change them).

If the driver update didn't fix it, that probably will. if not, let me
know.


and press OK. Then press OK again on the resulting success message.
(Thanks to comment poster Leon for this suggestion.)
