re: lexplorer Saturday, March 31, 2007 at 11:34 am Windows Me Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Ed (741 messages posted) Peter, you seem to be suggesting that Roy's problem is due to a virus infection, but there is nothing to indicate this. The problem appears to be simple. Roy's system is configured so that .bmp and .gif image files are being handled by Internet Explorer. All that he needs to do is install a dedicated image program, such as Irfanview, to handle image files (instead of using IE to do that).
