The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022.

    This happens if the Content Type registry setting for certain file types is missing or incorrect. (I believe those are jpgs or pngs)

    To fix the problem download the attachement, extract it, and doublee click and agree to merge into the registry. Reboot. Should be OK after that

    That's is the effect of a registry cleaner.... and the solution above should work.

    What registry cleaner do you suspect did that?

    It does not surprise me...registry cleaners are the biggest waste of time, but people seem adicted to them
