The advice to unregister shimgvw.dll is indeed in the originally-posted MS
article. However, in true MS fashion, it is hidden several layers deep. You
have to click on the + to expand "Suggested Actions," then click on the +
next to "Workarounds" and finally, click on the + next to "Un-register the
Windows Picture and Fax Viewer (Shimgvw.dll) on Windows XP Service Pack 1;
Windows XP Service Pack 2; Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2003
Service Pack 1"
