Hi all,

I Use ACDSee as my picture viewer and everything is all fine except
that when I try to view jpg's on my camera. I can't even open up the
files from within ACDSee. Stupid Picture and Fax viewer is associated
with the "preview" action. I've tried the various reg fixes floating
around and the regsvr32 /u shimgvw.dll fix but all these fixes seem to
be for Pic & Fax Viewer as the default viewer in windows...which mine
isn't. Any ideas?

What's so stupid about it? It's quite a good viewer and uses all the best
features of ACDSee. The cool thing is it only takes a roll of the mousewheel
to zoom in and out, and you can even permanently clockwise /
counterclockwise rotate a pic that may be orientated incorrectly. I think
it's excellent personally.

are you opening the files through explorer or some other program?

Go into Folder Options/File Types find the JPG reference and change it to the
program that you want open it, for that file type..


Dead Simple no hacks or Reg mods needed..

From explorer, the files open in Pic and Fax viewer. If I try to open
it from ACDSee, it doesn't do anything...??

If you right click on tyhe pic file, and click on "open with" and then
choose ACDSee .... does that work?

I can't even do that. When I browse to my camera, it's not like
*normal* explorer. It seems XP has taken it over and I only get "View,
copy" etc in the context menu...not the normal "Open with" etc.

I didn't ask for yours either but was curious as to why you dislike
something that's not so dissimilar to a program you favour positively.
