Hi Nick,
Assuming that you've updated your version of Windows within the last
week or so, here are a couple of things to do.
1. Search for shimgvw.dll in your Windows and subfolders. If you find
it then do step 2. If not, reply back, and we'll tell you how to get it
again.
2. Open a run box, (Start---> Run...) and paste this in (without the
quotes) "regsvr32 %windir%\system32\shimgvw.dll" then click OK. It
should pop up a message saying that the file was registered. Then, try
looking at a picture in My Computer. If it works, then you've fixed the
issue. If not, we'll have to dig some more.
HTH.
