Problem displaying JPG in IE5 (Win98se)

[aljpson]

I'm using Win98se and IE5. I'm having trouble displaying JPG files in IE5 using file:// protocol (need to preview local webpages). I've have no problems displaying GIF using the same protocol.
(note: both JPG and GIF can be displayed properly in http://)

It's unlikely a file association problem 'cause when i double click the JPG (in Windows Explorer), IE is launched and the JPG is displayed.

I suspect it's a registry problem but i can't figure it out. Anyone please help me out.

Thanks.

Start by doing the following:

Go to Start/run, and type the following line, followed by pressing 'enter'

regsvr32 /i shdoc401.dll

After a wait you ought to get a *succeeded* dialogue box. Click OK.

After that, do the same with:

regsvr32 /i thumbvw.dll


And here are two articles that may be of help:
