Can't resize pictures with XP resize image wizard anymore

[veezavee]

Somehow I've lost the ability to right click on an image file and resize it. I used to be able to right click on a file, go to "send to", "mail recipient" and have a wizard pop up that would allow me to resize images for the email.. but no longer. I don't think I've installed anything lately that would compromise this feature, but who knows... In any case, any help someone may have would be very helpful...
thanks.

Go there and get PowerToy Image Resizer. It does what you ask.

Thanks for the advice. However, I have this particular powertoy installed (I've removed and reinstalled as well) and it doesn't have any effect. Still no menu option to resize image available.
It seems to me that something is messed up in my registry, but i don't even have the foggiest idea where to start looking.

Veezavee, did you manage to solve this problem? If so pls. post solution. I now seem to encounter the exact same behaviour . Digging into the registry doesn't give me any ideas where to possibly change a value .

This is an old message but for closure below is the resolution that worked for me (from Don Davidson Computer site Don's website)

Go to Start, Run, type
regsvr32 shimgvw.dll and click OK.
(Note: there is a space after the 32.)
