I keep getting a message box from SVCHOST that
jpeg.dll is missing and must be re-installed. I downloaded a copy of jpeg.dll but can't figure how to install if to function with SVCHOST. Any advice?

Copy the DLL to your system32 folder within the Windows folder. [c:\WINDOWS\system32]

Click on the Start button, then click the Run... option

In the "Open" line, type the following (without quotes) "regsvr32 jpeg.dll" then click the "OK" button.

If the installation was successful, you should see a message saying that your file was successfully installed/uninstalled.

Hope that helps..

Thanks for the fix. It almost worked.
Loaded JPEG.DLL as you directed. Checked that file was in C:\WINDOWS\system32. File was listed. Then followed procedure you gave me. Got message "LOADLIBRARY ("JPEG.DLL")FAILED-THE SPECIFIED MODULE COULD NOT BE FOUND. Any clue?

unless you've sorted it out by now :)

I've followed this thread for the past days and felt I might point out something.

I can't find any trace of jpeg.dll in c:\Windows\system32 or C:\Windows\system either.

However THREE instances of jpeg.dll do exist - all within bespoke photographic/image packages. Could it be that the OP is missing an instance within a package?

Just a thought.
