SHIMGVW.DLL display JPEG problem
Hello
I am suddenly unable to view any pictures that I have on my system (e.g JPEG file). I get the following error in a box headed RUNDLL - "Error loading c:\windows\system\shimgvw.dll One of the library files needed to run this application cannot be found" I have tried system restore but it just seems to hang. I have looked up the shimgvw.dll in the knowledge base but am none the wiser. It tells me to do stuff at a command prompt but I don't know what a command prompt is either. Apologies for my ignorance but this is the first problem I have had in 3 years of having a computer so have been pretty lucky. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Rob |

Rob,
I'm having my own problems trying to restore the default Windows Picture and Fax Viewer. From web searches, I found several approaches to my problem, which may help you as well. Running the command processor is done by StartRun, then entering cmd in the box, and pressing the enter key. You will get a new (black background) view with a C:\ prompt, awaiting your commands (see below, e.g. regsrvr32). I began by unregistering shimgvw.dll, then registering it newly (regsvr32 shimgvw.dll), which succeeded. Then I used Windows explorer to set the file association for all JPEG-type files (open = "rundll32.exe c:\winnt\system32\shimgvw.dll,ImageView_Fullscreen %1"). Then when I double-clicked on a .jpg file, I got this error: "Error in c:\winnt\system32\shimgvw.dll Missing entry:ImageView_Fullscreen" My shimgvw.dll is 52,496 bytes, version 5.00.2134.1, dated 05/08/2001. /torrmundi -----Original Message----- Hello I am suddenly unable to view any pictures that I have on my system (e.g JPEG file).
