Windows Forum / Windows XP / Photos / April 2005Slide show option not available
Hello, a friend of mine has a problem. The option to view pistures as a slide show is never offered to her when she inserts a photo CD or looks in a photo folder. I have looked the MSKB and cannot find an answer. The "show common tasks in folder" option is selected. I am lost as to what to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance, Aaron Click on Start and click on Run. Type the following in the textbox: REGSVR32 SHIMGVW.DLL Note that there is a space between ...32 and SHI... and that there is a . between ..VW and DLL And press the Enter key. This will take a second or two to run and you should get a "success" message. Then look again under the Picture Tasks and this option should now be listed there. The other way to do it is simply double click on a photo. This will open the screen showing the photo. Under the photo you should see a series of small icons. One looks like a screen. Double click on it to start the slide show. If you do not see the series of icons below the photo, the window is not opened full screen. Double click on the top blue bar of the window to open the window full screen. If you want to stop the slide show, press the Esc key. > Hello, a friend of mine has a problem.

Can you tell me if you expect it to work under XP Pro without causing problems? Thank you. > Hey Yves, it worked after registering that dll and rebooting. Thank you very > much.

Picture Tasks is not showing up in neither the menu, nor options and when a picture is opened by double clicking, their are no controls at the bottom left as there once were. Any ideas?
