It used to be that when viewing photos in the My Pictures option with the
thumbnail view, a double click would simply enlarge the photo for my
convenience. NOW when I do that I get a blue frame that says "Picturer
Viewer" and immediately in front of that another blue frame containing the
photo number. That frame also contains the photo but only about 1/4 of the
photo is visible. I have to do further manipulation to view the entire
photo which I did not have to do before. Any clues as to what has happened?
When I look at the pictures with a view tiles setting they all say a "Quick
Time Picture" among other things.
 
Apparently you installed the Apple QuickTime
viewer and it has altered your file asssociations.

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 Windows XP 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...
 
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! The default you suggested put it back to
"normal" and works great. I have a Canon and a Sony digital camera. I
assume that when I installed the software that came with the cameras that
may have been my undoing.
