I had this prob too, there is somethig to change in regedit but I don't know what...
BTW, try installing Irfanview, when you double-click on your pic,
the soft loads very quickly, and ask no resources... or else, wait for lotta bugs/crash/whatever-is-bothering, then reinstall Windows

I had the same problem before a long time ago.

In my case, some files linked to IE was corrupted so I had to reinstall IE to fix the problem.

Yes, when you do a reinstall, the corrupted files should be replaced with the original files.

I had this problem before when I installed Infranview under 98se. I remember finding the problem off the Microsoft Knowledge base, but it took me a little time to find it again

Don't worry about the registry thing, that's only for newbies

ok... I'll take your word for that... thanks again...
