Control panel > Folder Options > File Type tab > Highlight JPG > click on Change then select programme you want to associate with this type of file.

I know that you want to show thumbnails and I am hoping by assigning the same program that you have with bmp files that it will allow you to view in thumbnail mode.

138285 2003-04-25 21:23:00 I just re read 1 of your posts and I think you have already tried the last suggestion I made, so ignore my last one if you have been down that track .

I searched your problem via google and found something interesting which might be what you want . Rather than type it here just follow this link ( . experts-exchange . com/Operating_Systems/Win98/Q_10074585 . html" target="_blank">www . experts-exchange . com) and scroll down to an answer by Larbel .

see if that works

138286 2003-04-25 22:12:00 I thought we might be on to something here but no. This did not work! I have now uninstalled IrfanView and re installed a later version but still no thumbnail. David DavidW (532)
138287 2003-04-25 23:29:00 Ok what about the sfc? system file checker, in system info under tools (I think)
or possibly type sfc in the run box...
takes a while asks questions all the time and does what it says...I use to check the dates and version numbers on each of the changed files and pick the latest ones...
you may need your windows disc for this also

138288 2003-04-26 00:41:00 It seems that these people here (www.experts-exchange.com) had the same problem as you David and it was fixed eventually following advice on that link.

good luck

138289 2003-04-27 02:07:00 Wow what a saga! Thanks for all the help.
Problem was eventually fixed by following sam m's link. I worked my way through all the suggestions and the last one was a Microsoft Knowledge Base Article No192573. This contained a Regestry hack that fixed the problem. Thanks again!!! David
