Automation Server Can't Create Object

MD_Geist · January 13th, 2002, 11:07 AM

I get this error when trying to change user icons in the user menu.

If I create a new user it leaves a X-ed mark like when an image can;t be displayed on the net.

I can't figure out what to do, i looked at microsofts knowledge base, but only found something similar refering to the media player.

i found my problem...

I had unregistered a DLL to get rid of the stupid picture viewer and that screwed the icons...

So I did find a fix to get rid of the viewer in regedit...

just open regedit and delete the key
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\image\She llEx\ContextMenuHandlers\ShellImagePreview

hope this helps
