I am trying to make Windows Picture and Fax Viewer work on my 2000 machine (at work).
So I downloaded the "shimgvw.dll" from www.dll-files.com.
I also put a jpg file (test.jpg) into C:\.

When I run 
rundll32.exe %SystemRoot%\System32\shimgvw.dll,ImageView_Fullscreen c:\test.jpg

I get the message
Error in c:\winnt\system32\shimgvw.dll
Missing entry: ImageView_Fullscreen

Even if I try 
rundll32.exe %SystemRoot%\System32\shimgvw.dll,ImageView_Fullscreen

I get the same error message.
What am I doing wrong?

Thanks.

Teach a man to fish and he will eat for the rest of his life. -- Chinese proverb -- You will need to download a program called Filemon then install it on the XP machine then run the WP/Fax Viewer and write down all the files that open up ,then copy the files from the XP machine to the WIN2K machine then update the reg.file and register the files in win2k and with some luck it will run on the 2k PC but it'a a long shot at best. Alot of work just to use a program made to run on a XP machine. Good luck Great Free Software Click Here C. H.

After installing Process Monitor I found that after launching WPF viewer about 50 different dll files were called by rundll32.exe on my home XP machine. Also, in a fraction of a second there were about 6400 different events initiated by the rundll32.exe not counting registry calls ( I almost feel sorry for my machine knowing now how much background work is after a simple exe call). I am giving up on this. Thanks for input.
