Wine_Spirit Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Hello all, im here just to report a bug: if i remove Image and Fax Viewer from my Windows XP x64 (english) the desktop background doesnt work anymore; NOT ONLY the preview as it's written in nLite, but i cant have a background image on the desktop, it doesnt work at all. I can chose an image, apply it & click on ok, but the image isnt shown in the background. I tried also with XP 32bit and there it works fine, no preview of course,but the background works. So i guess it's a x64 version problem. I cant post the ini coz i've erased it..oops.Bye and thanks again for this proggy : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuhi Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Yes that is 'normal' when you remove image viewing engine.I think it's in the description.Still works for bmp, just not jpg.Install some image viewer and use it to convert to bmp.For example in ACDsee right click on image and click Set As Wallpaper.

bolajones Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 (edited) nuhi, can I get back image view on xp 32-bit? I forgot to keep this.EDIT: can I just copy shimgvw.dll and register with regsvr32 /i function to get back?I will try later and post a feedback.PS: I am counting days to have RC7 on my hands and then, finally, nLite FINAL release.cheers Edited March 2, 2006 by bolajones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuhi Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 Yes, you are lucky this component is very small.Just extract shimgvw.dl_ to system32 and register it."regsvr32 shimgvw.dll" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
