    When I right click on a jpg file > properties > summary,
    the dialog box opens to allow....

    Title Subject comments etc. to be entered; all seems to work well but after perssing apply and oK All stills seems to be working but after closing and re opening the file, all fields are blank. I haved search the web, MS database and this BBS but found no solution.

    I am using WinXP Home

    Thanks all.....

    Rich,

    Works just fine on my XP Pro m/c - wonder if File Indexing has anything to do with your problem. Turned off on my m/c - just guessing :)

    Sorry, rich ~

    No further ideas - apart from a repair of XP.

    On second thoughts I wonder if it has anything to do with File Associations?

    What are *.jpeg files currently associated with?

    I am not where my daughters computer is now (different city), so I can't check associations.

    All files, any extension, that should accept a summary page will

    not save info that is entered so associations probally are not involved since there would be many different executables involved.

    Next time there I will try a xp repair.. thanks..
