hey guys just wondering if anyone cn help me out?
although some people may not, i like using the windows picture and fax
viewer to quickly view pictures on my pc.
i dont know how but it isnt working and im having to use an alternative
viewer just now which isnt as good and i cant see preview thumbnails or the
'filmstrip' view that im used to.
is there any way i can get it back?

I would suggest you re-register a DLL related to Picture and Fax Viewer:

Open Start, Run, type 'regsvr32 %windir%\system32\shimgvw.dll' (without any quotation mark) and click OK.

If it did not work please report us more details about the problem: What do you mean by 'it is not working'?
 
Control Panel > Folder Options > File Types.

Scroll to the file types you want to view (JPG) then click Change. Pic and
Fax Viewer will be one of the options.
 
Try this.

Click Start |Click Run | Paste: regsvr32 shimgvw.dll | Click OK

If that doesn't work, make sure Preview default is set correctly.

When you open an image file in Windows XP the default action is to preview
it using the Windows Picture and Fax Viewer.

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\image\ShellEx\ContextMenuHandlers\
ShellImagePreview
Value Name: (Default)
Value Type: REG_SZ
Value Data: {e84fda7c-1d6a-45f6-b725-cb260c236066}
