Locate the shimgvw.dll file in C:\WINDOWS\system32\ folder and rename it to old_shimgvw.dll or something similar and move it to another folder. 2. Then we need to place the new file there, either download it from here or use the XP CD. 3. If copying from XP CD then make use of this command (type the command in cmd), EXPAND X:\i386\SHIMGVW.DL_ %WINDIR%\SYSTEM32\SHIMGVW.DLL where X is the CD Drive letter. 4. When the file has been copied; place the file in C:\WINDOWS\system32\ folder. 5. Now we need to register the fresh copy once again and the command for that is (enter the command in the Run box) regsvr32 shimgvw.dll regsvr32 /i shimgvw.dll If the dialog saying “DllRegisterServer in SHIMGVW.DLL succeeded” comes up, that means the problem is fixed.

The usual error message is "The application failed to initialise properly (0x0150004). Click on OK to terminate the application." Also, file icons http://techsalsa.com/solution-to-error-loading-cwindowssystem32shimgvwdll-problem/ in folders no longer show their thumbnails like they used to. After a lot of Googling I'm coming to suspect these 2 problems might be related (they both started at the same time) and that shimgvw.dll is the culprit. I've tried the standard forum suggestion "regsvr32 shimgvw.dll" and got the message: "LoadLibrary("shimgvw.dll") failed - The referenced assembly is not installed on your system." I did a search for shimgvw.dll and there are at least 2 identical copies of https://forums.techguy.org/threads/solved-regsvr32-shimgvw-dll-the-referenced-assembly-is-not-installed.930698/ it on my system, one in "C:\WINDOWS\system32" and one in "C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles\i386". Typing "regsvr32 C:\WINDOWS\system32\shimgvw.dll" got the same error. Is there some way I can force regsvr32 to recognise this DLL? jesta77, Jun 21, 2010 #1 Sponsor Elvandil Joined: Aug 1, 2003 Messages: 51,988 shimgvw.dll is not a self-registering dll, so you cannot use regsvr32 with it. Do you have any restore points? Elvandil, Jun 21, 2010 #2 Tufenuf Joined: Jul 28, 2007 Messages: 2,461 jesta77, Try this: Click Start>Run the copy & paste or type in: regsvr32 /i shimgvw.dll Click OK Restart your computer. (The space after the 2 and the space after the i is required) Tufenuf Tufenuf, Jun 21, 2010 #3 jesta77 Thread Starter Joined: Jun 12, 2010 Messages: 48 Tufenuf: I pasted that into Start/Run and got the same error message as before, restarted anyway but the problem is still there. Elvandil: I tried a restore operation previously with no luck What next? There's gotta be some way to get this file working... jesta77, Jun 22, 2010 #4 Tufenuf Joined: Jul 28, 2007 Messages: 2,461 jesta77, Which program do you use to open and view image files?

Shimgvw.dll is a type of DLL file associated with MSDN Disc 0785.1 developed by Microsoft for the Windows Operating System. The latest http://ask-leo.com/what_if_i_want_windows_picture_and_fax_viewer.html known version of Shimgvw.dll is 1.0.0.0, which was produced for Windows. This DLL file carries a popularity rating of 1 stars and a security rating of "UNKNOWN". What Are DLL Files? DLL ("dynamic link library") files error loading such as shimgvw.dll are small programs, similar to EXE ("executable") files, which allow multiple software programs to share the same functionality (eg. printing).For example, let's say you are running Windows and editing a document in Microsoft Word. The DLL file that controls printing does not need to load unless it's function is needed - eg. you decide to print your document. When you select "Print", Microsoft Word calls the printer DLL file, error loading c and it is loaded into memory (RAM) at that time. If you want to print a document in another program, Adobe Acrobat for example, that same printer DLL file will be used as well. Why Do I Have DLL Errors? Because they are shared files, DLL files exist outside of the software application itself. Although this provides many benefits for software developers, this separation also provides an opportunity for problems to occur.Quite simply, if Windows cannot properly load your shimgvw.dll file, you will encounter an error message. Please see "Causes of shimgvw.dll Errors" below for more information. When Do DLL Errors Occur?

to be the default image viewer. by Leo A. Notenboom, © 2005 A very common question most folks have shortly after installing Windows XP is How do I make something other than "Picture and FAX Viewer" the default for viewing pictures?. The other day I got a couple of variations on the reverse: What is the file name and extension for Windows picture and fax viewer? I want to use it for an OLE object to view pictures. and How do I change my default image viewer back to the Windows Picture and Fax Viewer? • Turns out it's easier to get rid of than it is to restore. But not impossible. • It took a little spelunking using Process Explorer to determine the command line that is used when Windows Picture and Fax Viewer is invoked. Turns out that it's not a stand-alone exe at all. The command to run Windows Picture and Fax viewer is: rundll32.exe C:\WINDOWS\System32\shimgvw.dll,ImageView_Fullscreen path-to-picture So, to answer the first question: shimgvw.dll probably exposes the objects needed to use Windows Picture and Fax Viewer as an OLE object. As for the second, restoring Windows Picture and Fax Viewer as the viewer for images: Note what file extension you want to change the default for. That's the ".jpg", ".gif", and so on at the end of the filename. It indicates the type of picture, and more importantly, it's what Windows uses to decide what program to use to display it. Open up Windows Explorer. (The Windows Key + E, on many keyboards.) Find any file with that same extension. Right-click on the filename, and select Open With .... Select Choose Program at the bottom of the list that's displayed. In the resulting dialog box, "Windows Picture and Fax Viewer" should already be listed. Click on it. Check the box labeled "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file". Press OK • If for some reason it's not already in the list, you can force the association by following these steps, still in Windows Explorer: On the Tools menu, click Folder Options... Click on the File Types tab. Scroll down to the extension you care about, for example "JPG". Press the Restore button, if it exists. Press the Advanced button. Click on the Open action. Click on Edit... In the Application used to perform action: enter C:\WINDOWS\system32\rundll32.exe C:\WINDOWS\System32\shimgvw.dll,ImageView_Fullscreen %1. Where "C:\WINDOWS" is the directory containing your Windows installation. Press OK You'll want to repeat that for every extension
