Photo printing wizard won't show previews Milo 12/4/2008 5:36:06 AM I'm running XP SP3 and recently I stopped getting the preview screen with the selected photos in the PPW. In the second screen where the 'Picture Selection' pane is shown, there aren't any images to choose...and there's no 'next' option. Any ideas? Milo

Re: Photo printing wizard won't show previews Milo 12/4/2008 4:36:01 PM John, Thanks, that didn't do it for me. I have tried HELP / Detect and Repair, but am prompted for the MS Office disk and this came installed on the box (Dell) without the Office disks...

What is the format of the image files? After running the command...did you receive the "SHIMGVW.DLL succeeded" dialog? Try the following: Go to...Start / Run and type (or copy/paste): regsvr32 /i shimgvw.dll (yes, the space after the 2 and the space after the i is required) Press...Enter... You should see a dialog box that says: DllRegisterServer and DllInstall in shimgvw.dll succeeded -- John Inzer MS-MVP Digital Media Experience Notice This is not tech support I am a volunteer Solutions that work for me may not work for you Proceed at your own risk

This is happening only in the PPW with any type of graphic file... Milo

Maybe it would help if you delete all your temporary internet files.
