Hi Steve
thanks for your answer regarding my image viewing !

I have tried to run PMView's makedefv.exe and got an error
message
that there is something wrong with my INI files I shall reinstall
PMView again !

I did and at the end of the installation I got the popup window
asking for the
extenesions to be serviced from PMView ...
... and I accepted all to be default !

After rebooting my system I retried accessing an JPG file and got
it
with the system Image Viewer again instead of PMview ;-(

Once more I went to the PMView directory and reranned
makedefv.exe
again: Once more I did set all extension to be defaulted to
PMView and
once more I rebooted my system.

After this 2nd reboot the JPG was showed again with the system
Image Viewer ;-((

Checking with AssoEdit I noticed that these bitmap are still
associated to the
unwanted Image Viewer primarily ;-(((
As second entry I see PMview 2000 and sometimes any other apps
like
Impos/2 or Star Office !

What do I need to do to stop this unwanted system image viewer ?
Any hints and suggestions are very appreciated !!

Thanks and cheers, svobi

Sort of. It, along with, ib.exe and vb.exe are PM programs that
know how
to interface to the MMOS2 WPS classes that do the real work for
playing MM
streams.

>Can / Could I erase or rename "ab.exe" to make sure that the
default
>viewer does not appear or work anymore ???

Nope. Don't to that. Run pmview's makedefv.exe and pmview will
be the
default image viewer.
