ive had this problem for a while and its irritating me. When i double click to try to open an image weather it is a .bmp, .jpg or a gif animation nothing happens. Nothing pops up. i can click on the image file a million times and nothing will pop up. the only way i could see the image is to right click and open it up with paint well i hope you guys have an answer for me thanks
