My most recent column at Microsoft.com, Share Digital Photos, contains all sorts of wonderful advice for anyone who owns a digital camera. (It also includes a great photo of my amazingly photogenic cat Katy.)
Since that column appeared, I’ve received several emails from people who tell me that their copy of Windows XP is missing the Resize command that I write about.
Apparently, some graphics programs scramble a DLL in Windows XP. Fortunately, there’s a pretty easy fix. If you can’t find the Resize menu, follow these steps to restore this functionality:
Click the Start button, click Run, and type this command in the Open box:
REGSVR32 SHIMGVW.DLL
(Note that there’s a single space in that command, after REGSVR32.) Click OK.
That should get you back in business.
