Your photos are undamaged, but the computer has lost the information as to how to display them. This is easily cured.

1. Open any folder. On the file menu, click TOOLS then FOLDER OPTIONS, then on the General tab click "Enable web content in folders".


2. Alternatively, restart the computer in DOS mode (using an MS-DOS startup floppy disk from www.bootdisk.com) and type the following -

SCANREG /RESTORE

Note the space before the slash character.

Then follow the on-screen instructions to restore an earlier version of your system registry.


3. Alternatively, install the IrfanView photo viewer program. The installation program will restore the computer to normal operation. Download this program free from http://www.irfanview.com
