re: Question about 'How do I turn off the Windows Picture and Fax Viewer as my default image viewer?' Monday, September 8, 2003 at 5:31 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by James King (4 messages posted) Bob The shimgvw.dll came up as an error message while reinstalling WIN ME and from then on, I have not been able to get into windows. I only get a blue screen and the system halts just before it displays the login dialog box. All of the answers given are specific to doing the processes within windows. What do I do if I cannot get into windows to massage the registry. I cannot find any credible suggestion that helps me from the emergency boot diskette. Help!!! If anyone is aware of a DOS based command that enables the loading and unloading of a DLL, I am interested. Please email me a complete answer. I am very reluctant to erase my system because I have some very valuable business related information on it. Thanks in advance to all that can and are able to help.
