I don't know how or why but my Windows Picture and Fax Veiwer won't open any of the pictures on my system. Where can I reinstall this from?

did you happen to run a "pre-fix" for the WMF file virus which involved unregistering a dll? If so you'll need to re-register it.

Otherwise, you can "re-install" the picture/fax viewer by using the add Windows components wizard in Add/Remove programs.

I dont think I installed any WMF stuff, but I can't find it in anywhere in the add/remove programs tabs.

Oh yeah, I just looked and yeah, it's not in there. You may need to "re-register" the dll for picture viewer. Try doing start->run and paste this line in there..

regsvr32 "C:\WINDOWS\system32\shimgvw.dll"

If that doesn't work I dunno man.
