Windows Forum / Windows XP / Photos / May 2008Rotation won't work on some photos
When trying to view newly updated photos one night, we clicked the box to not allow a rotation because, according to the message, it may cause the program not to work properly. Since then, Picture Viewer will not allow any rotation of photos. I have read the other questions here and found the fix of entering the line into Run, which worked on SOME of the photos, but not all. Can anyone think of a reason why some photos can be rotated and others can't? Seems the one set of photos that we clicked that box on still can't be rotated. Thanks for any help you can offer. > When trying to view newly updated photos one night, we clicked the > box to not allow a rotation because, according to the message, it may [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > Thanks for any help you can offer. ========================================== Unless you have extremely low resolution images... rotating them will do no harm and even then you would probebly have to rotate them several times before you could visibly detect any loss.. To reset the Rotate dialog...try the following... Open an image in Windows Picture and Fax Viewer... Hold your Ctrl key and close the viewer...(X on titlebar) You should see a dialog that says: "Any rotation warnings that you may have suppressed have been reset, and may appear again when you rotate a picture." Now you may need to run the following command: Go to...Start / Run and type (or copy/paste): "REGSVR32 SHIMGVW.DLL" (without the quotes)(Yes, there's a space between 2 and S) Click...OK. A dialog box should report the following: "DllRegisterServer in SHIMGVW.DLL succeeded" Try rotating your pictures...

We didn't have to go any further than the first direction to open a photo and X out while holding down the Ctrl key. We got the dialogue box and from there on in, it worked. You are our hero!
