Default Can't Open Pics By Double Clicking

"donna" wrote in message
om...

Hi I'm hoping someone can help me. I discovered last week that my
computer was infected with lots of nasty spyware. So this morning I
ran the three programs I was told to use to clean that mess up with
(Ad-aware, Spybot, and SpySweeper) . All the spyware seems to be gone
and my computer is running much faster. I noticed though that when I
went into My Computer my graphic files looked odd. I've been using
Corel Photo House as my default photo viewer and the little icon next
to the names is missing. When I go to double click it says
corelpnt.exe is missing. But I do still have the program on my
computer. If I open the program directly I can view pictures. I also
have Photoshop 7 and PSP 7 that I can view the pictures with if I go
into the program directly. Is there anything I can do? Maybe make
PSP my default picture viewer? Any help or advice would be greatly
appreciated. Thank you!


1. Removal of viruses or malware can mess
up your display DLLs. When you have the
installation disks, the simplest cure is to
uninstal and then instal afresh any suspect app.
2. The best picture viewer is the free one from
www.irfanview.com
3. For other purposes, you probably do not need
both the Corel PH and Photoshop.
4. Posting your true address in a MS newsgroup
invites Swen viruses (= News backwards.)
