reinstall windows picture and fax viewer

hello, after install the ACDSEE 7, i cann't open file JPG in windows picture and fax viewer, i tried to change the file type in Tools -> Folder Options - Type Files -> JPG -> Change -> windows picture and fax viewer, and when i try to open a JPG file it open with MSpaint, in BMP files there is no problem

is there a way that i can open JPG files in windows picture and fax viewer or reinstall windows picture and fax viewer ?

Please help...

 

Hi SpOoki, and welcome.

Unless you have some unusual problem, the normal method of reassociation should work.

Right click any .jpg file and select "Open With" from the context menu that appears. From the list of programs shown, select Windows Picture and Fax Viewer. Then tag the box that says "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file. "

Normally that will stick until it get changed, either by a user or a program that is pushy.

If that doesn't work, post back and we'll pursue other possible issues.

 

i did, and it doesn't work

but i fix the problem
i had uninstall the ACDSEE
and did regsvr32 shimgvw.dll in RUN
and it fix
thanx anyway

 

I can't argue with success! Actually that was going to be my next suggestion but without uninstalling AcDc. I think it's a sociable program but just needed to be put in it's place by re-registering the shimgvw.dll.

Thanks for the update.

Quickheal detects Marburg in My Pictures but cannot qurantine/remove.Re restored system using disc.same problem persists
Rest of the system seems ok.Please help

 

I recommend that you take steps to get rid of the Marburg virus. Since this thread was not initiated by you and the problem you have is off topic for this thread, you should post a new thread in the Security forum so you will get the attention of the experts there. This partucular virus is polymorphic and can hide from most scans unless certain steps are taken. It can be destructive to system files and requires replacement of any files that are necessarily deleted by your AV corrective action.

Good luck.
