XP Pro sp2 (Desktop) and XP Home sp2 (laptop). Neither of these have the
FILMSTRIP view option under View menu?
Any ideas what is wrong?

Thanx in advance for the help.

==================
Try this, maybe it will restore the option:

go to...Start / Run and type:

"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"

Also, have a look at the following articles:

Filmstrip view is available if your folder is set as a photo folder.
Right click on the folder name. Click on Properties. Click on the Customize
tab. For folder type, select Pictures.

You will only get the Film Strip View if you set your folder to be a
