run these commands from the run box

regsvr32 /u shimgvw.dll

then

regsvr32 shimgvw.dll

what this does is UNregister the Image and Fax Viewer and then register it again. This will *hopefully* sort all your problems out.

If it doesnt go to folder options and then JPG (and any other extensions that have the problem) and then change the icon for it.
