This started a few days ago, just after I got a message telling me windows
was updating its self. Now when I go into 'my photos' all I can see are the
icons of the program I open them with e.g. photo impact. Nothing happens when
I right click and hit preview or when I click 'view as slide show'. The only
way I can see my photos is if I open them one at a time in photo impact. Also
I've found that when I go to change my desk top background I can't preview
those either (nothing appears in the little picture of a monitor). I've tried
all sorts and don't know what's going on. Need expert help. All efforts
appreshiated.

Hi:

I assume you have the images stored in general fields. If this is the case,
then it sounds like the OLE automation information stored with the images
in the general fields cannot find the OLE Server to display those images.
I would try uninstalling and reinstalling the Photo Impact software.

You need to store your images in a memo binary field instead of using
general fields. I can send you code that shows how to do this if you need
it.


I hope this helps.
