This situation has been there for quite a while already, probably a year. I
think I've only installed Irfanview and nothing much else. Just suddenly
think I may want to give it a try in solving this problem. Not solving it
is not a big deal at all as well.

Yeah, I didn't have much hope for that being a solution, but I had to give
it a try.

Have you installed any image editors recently, that might have messed
around with
the graphics filters? I don't install Photo Editor on any of my systems,
so I can't
easily track down the Registry settings that might be involved. You need
to find
the settings that control the jpg filters for Photo Editor, and see if
perhaps they
are missing on your system. For that you need to access a system with
Photo Editor
that works correctly, and start comparing the related Registry entries.

What makes no sense to me is that you say you have tried removing and
reinstalling
Photo Editor from the Office 97 setup CD and it makes no difference. That
process
*should* have reinstated any missing filters and associations.

The version number of Themes.exe is 4.40.500.

At Control Panel, Themes starts without error, although I can't see
the
preview of the wallpaper within Themes.

Herbert,

What is the version number of the Themes.exe file on your system (it
should be in
the "\Program Files\Plus!" folder)?
Also, in Control Panel, does Themes (or is it Desktop Themes?) start
without error?

It does sound like some program has messed up, or is incompatible
with,
the Photo
Editor jpeg filter. I am guessing an in compatibility with
something
on
the system,
as you say an uninstall and reinstall of Photo Editor had no effect.

For filetype, all types now only include gif, bmp, png and tga.

If I select a jpg and let Photo Editor open it, I got the
following
error:

Photo Editor cannot find or open filename.

What happens exactly when you *try* to open a JPG file with Photo
Editor?

jpg/jpeg does not come up in the file type. Only gif, png and
so
forth.
So it
seems there's something wrong with the filter.

I'm also using Irfanview. Just wondering if I could repair the
situation with
photo editor.

Many do recommend Irfanview.

Does everything about Microsoft Photo Editor work? I don't have
it.

Is there anything in Photo Editor's menus about file types or
