Windows Picture and Fax Viewer problem

[Mike Brearley]

When tryign to open images using the built in 'Windows Picture and Fax
Viewer' I receive the following error:

Windows cannot find 'C:\My Images.jpg'. Make sure you typed the name
correctly and then try again. To search for a file, click the Start button,
and then click Search.

Any ideas on how to resolve this? I've gone into the file associations and
associated jpg image to another program, then back to the viewer and it
still gives me the error. This just started happeneing yesterday.

Perhaps the file in question is not a JPG. Find a real
JPG file and try to open it. You can hold down the Shift
key and Right click on the file to be offered a pop menu
with the option OPEN WITH allowing you to select which
application yo uwould like to opent hte file with. To
confirm it is a JPG file, select Internet Explorer which
will display JPG files, then try to open with your other
application.

I've tried opening over 20 images and get the same result. I've opened the
same images with another viewer and it works fine. So it's just something
with the Windows Picture and Fax Viewer.

Anymore ideas?

P.S. Why did you use my e-mail address as your name?

Try typing in Start Run
regsvr32 shimgvw
