551943 2007-05-22 06:55:00 I have just discovered that I can no longer open image files. JPG, BMP, PNG all seem to have 'died' somehow, doubleclicking results in nothing, but if I right click -> open with 'picture and fax viewer' it works fine. I can also open with anything else too.

I opened one JPG (doubleclick), tried to goto the next image with next button in picture and fax viewer, it said "preview not available", I closed picture and fax viewer and the next second when I tried to open a file it didn't work.

:waughh: :confused: :badpc:

551944 2007-05-22 06:58:00 When you used the "open with" option, did you also put a check mark beside "always use this program" (or similar wording)? Jen (38)
551945 2007-05-22 10:42:00 That option isn't there, it's just like shown in the picture here (www.imagef1.net.nz)

I just restarted though and it's all working again. Probably windows just being randomly idiotic as usual

551946 2007-05-22 10:44:00 If you had selected the "choose program" option, you should have seen the option I mentioned.

Good to hear it has resolved itself. :)

I guess I should actually read the whole thing next time :lol: After all, I was taking a screenshot and playing with it in paint so I should have noticed... :blush:

551949 2007-05-22 22:05:00 Yeah, but it still doesn't explain why it died in the first place... Agent_24 (57)
551950 2007-05-22 23:07:00 Yeah, but it still doesn't explain why it died in the first place...As you mentioned... Windows! Greg (193)
