XP PowerToy Image Resizer stopped working

[Ale]

When I right click on a jpg the "Resize Pictures" option shows up in the
menu, but when I click on it nothing happens, the Image Resizer window does
not show up. I tried uninstalling/reinstalling the software but the "Resize
Pictures" option is still inactive when I click on it. I also tried the fix
suggested in this site without success: http://www.tikkiweb.net/resizer
Thanks for any suggestions.

WinXP SP2 or SP3? IE6, IE7, or IE8?

If Image Preview is disabled in XP, resizer won't work either. Type
"REGSVR32 SHIMGVW.DLL" at a command prompt to fix resizer. (Found on
aumha.org)

I'm running WinXP Pro SP3 with IE8

WinXP SP2 or SP3? IE6, IE7, or IE8?

I tried that command but the issue is still present, the "Resize Pictures"
link in the right click menu is inactive when pressed.

Hmm, depends on bug regression here....

See if line 234 and 269 helps:

Thanks but I tried both registry tweaks and neither were successful.

How to fix a missing "Resize Pictures" right-click command.

Open the Run box and enter, one at a time:

%WinDir%\system32\regsvr32.exe /u %WinDir%\system32\shimgvw.dll
%WinDir%\system32\regsvr32.exe /i %WinDir%\system32\shimgvw.dll

If that didn't work, install it again. If it still doesn't
work, uninstall it, restart, then install it again.

Thanks I tried your instructions without success. It seems that this issue
cannot be fixed unless I do a fresh windows reinstall or maybe a Windows
Repair
