Picture viewing problem

[robinbredin]

If I go into the picture folder i can see a thumb image of the photo I want. But, if I double click on the thumb image to get a bigger image, i get this,

Downloaded that picture viewer from Windows live Essentials, but I still can't get to see the thumb image any bigger. Also when I copied it to dvd- r, and click on it, I get the same error, plus I don't get a thumb image. Anybody any ideas.

SoundsGood
Right click -> open with -> choose program you want to view it in -> tick "always use this program"

I don't get that option.

Deception
Looks like the default file association has been corrupted. Look for a default file association fix for windows 7 (I guess thats the OS you're on). Do you have any other files that dont seem to want to open despite you know that they are?

You can go here for a list of reg fixes that help.

That did it, downloaded the jpg from that link, then installed it into my registary, and it worked. It worked ok yesterday, and not today. I used Acronis to do a copy to another drive, and somehow the registary got corrupted. Thanks

Worth installing Picassa, it has an awesome replacement for the windows viewer
Loads up really quickly too

Not a bad program, will keep it on. Thanks
