I think I messed up when I tried to fix some problems last week. I can view pictures however, when I try to save them to MyPics all I get when I try to open is:
Select the encoding that makes your document readable.
Text encoding
Windows (Default) which is checked
MS-DOS
Other encoding
next to that is a box that has:
US-ASCII

Western European(DOS)

then below that is a preview box that has
a lot of little boxes and a few characters spread out the whole rest of the preview area.

Hi there. It seems to me that the trouble is related to the system security. have you changed some of the policies related to the file formats lately? per say: jpg or bmp, for example?

2. It may have some relation to new installed codecs on your machine. Some of the newest codecs for video usually mess up around the file formats and end up giving more trouble than solutions. What seems to be happening is that some file changes were made and now the pc does not know what to do when a file is saved as .jpg. I had the same trouble a while ago when saving images out of a video stream using ffshow and other HD codecs/decoders. Try to investigate these two points and get back to the forum when you can.

Cheers
