My computer has been doing this for a long *** time and it now is just starting to bug the shit out of me.
When I try to open a picture from my desktop and I double click on it the typical preview opens but then instantly closes. If I right-click and click preview it does the same thing. However, if I open the same file from a folder or if I right-click -> open with -> Windows Picture & Fax Viewer it opens fine. I have even tried setting a different program as default and then switching back. Same problem.
Any ideas?
