I've looked further into this issue, and thought about what could be causing it. Sorry for posting 3 issues at once, I'll be patient.Įdited by hamluis, 08 March 2011 - 09:20 AM. So if someone could please help me with the windows picture and fax viewer issue, evil icon that's decided to live on my desktop, and perhaps a good virus/rootkit check or whatever that'd be awesome! I do scan regularly, but it'd be great if someone could walk me through the steps to check for these things that often go undetected and whatnot. I know everyone says to use google chrome. Reason is because sometimes I'm unable to visit websites that are up and running perfectly, and shockwave flash player sometimes crashes. I also suspect my computer might have a virus or something that has perhaps gotten past spybot and kaspersky. I should also mention when gdata was installed this item had it's icon, but when I uninstalled gdata the icon changed from the gdata icon to just a normal folder icon. I also did the checkdisk thing and told it to repair the errors it found. I've tried removing invalid shortcuts using tuneup utilities, and fixing my registry, etc. I can delete the shortcuts but not the one on the desktop.
When I drag it to another folder then try to delete it I notice it just makes a shortcut of itself. it won't let me rename it, drag it to the trash, delete it, when I right click it then click properties I get a box saying "Desktop- The properties for this item are not available" Well there's this icon from g-data on my desktop left over named "G Data Shredder" The other issue is I installed a trial version of gdata total security, then I uninstalled it an installed kaspersky internet security.
I tried the whole "regsvr32 shimgvw.dll" and it completed successfully, but my pictures still can't be viewed by double clicking on them, I can however view them in paint though.
So I double clicked it, and then windows picture and fax viewer quickly opens and says "Generating preview." then it closes before I can even see the picture. it's supposed to open using windows picture and fax viewer. I have a windows xp home edition sp2 desktop.
