When I try to view a .jpg or a .bmp with Image Preview on my [Windows ME] computer, 
I get the following error.

Error loading C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\SHIMGVW.DLL
One of the library files needed to run this application cannot be found.

If you could please tell me what i need to do to fix this, it would be greatly appreciated. 
Thanks.

I tried downloading fixpix.vbs, but that didn't change anything. I really don't understand what it is I need to do from the Microsoft page either. If someone could help I would be EXTREMELY grateful.

Again, thank you. On Sunday, April 4, 2004 at 11:12 am, ST wrote: >I am having the same problem. I tried downloading fixpix.vbs, but that didn't change >anything.

I get the error but it says a device attached to this system is not functioning. It started after i had to use my recovery disk because i was having problems with adaptec (which came bundled with this pc) I've tried everything mentioned on this site, as well as others and nothing has worked. When i re-registered I got another error saying something to the effect of it failing to load the library. Anyone know of anything else to try? I'm totally un-computer knowledgable so any help would be appreciated!

In my knowledge that is the best solution. it fixes any other bugs, ads and junks these *&!#ing websites might have created. i dont know if there is a registry key back up. if there is one. you wouldnt have to do this time consuming reformat junk. especially if you got a huge hard drive....
