===============================
I guess you are saying you cannot open
the images in Windows Picture and Fax
Viewer? Can you open them in your editing
software? Have the file names changed
in any way?

Try the following and see if it makes any
improvement:

Go to...Start / Run and type:

"REGSVR32 SHIMGVW.DLL"
(without the quotes)(Yes, there's
a space between 2 and S)

Click...OK.

A dialog box should report the following:

"DllRegisterServer in SHIMGVW.DLL succeeded"
