My Windows Picture and Fax viewer is not longer accessible. I have looked
back at previous posts on this, and taken the following recommended steps
already:
1) Checked that shimgvw.dll is in the windows\system32 directory
2) Ran regsvr32 shimgvw.dll (or ... %windir%\system32\shimgvw.dll) gives
error message that the system cannot find the file
3) In case the file itself was corrupted I downloaded a new version (current
version for XP Service Pack 1) and repeated steps 1 and 2 - got the same
error message
4) Tried disabling and re-enabling by running step 2 above with and without
/u command - got the same error message both times
5) Tried system restore to several previous dates, went through steps 1,2,4
above - also not effective
It seems clear that I have got the right.dll file in the right location, but
for some unknown reason my system will not recognize it. Any ideas? I am a
relative novice, so extremely hesistant to start playing with the registry
beyond these simple steps.
My first post to this group - many thanks for any help.
