I am not an expert but I took the advice written and downloaded the unofficial patch. After installing it and following all instructions regarding unregistering a dll. etc I found that I could no longer access ANY of my jpegs. I could not do anything with them at all. Lucky that I set a restore point before I installed it or I would have been in trouble. Looks to me that this was tested about as much as an XP service pack !
