Outlook 2003 & windows photo gallery issue


While trying to open a jpeg email attachment in outlook 2003 I have just discovered an issue with the integration of the new Windows Photo Gallery into Outlook 2003(using Vista RC1).

It seems that Outlook cannot access Windows Photo Gallery when it is set as the default application for opening the various image file types. If i try to open any image file from within Outlook i get an error message stating "no such interface supported". If I set a program such as Fireworks as the default for that file type, Outlook opens the Fireworks and the file with no problems.

Has anyone else experienced this problem, and if so, is there a fix?

Also, does anyone know if windows picture and fax viewer is still included in Vista?

Thanks

I don't use Outlook so I can't really help, but it does remind me of a somewhat similar problem that may or may not be related.

I've got Paint Shop Pro set as my default graphics viewer/editor. If I double-click an image file, PSP will open up and attempt to load the graphic, but will end up saying that the graphic's path does not exist (when it clearly does). If, however, I then open the file directly from PSP (via File/Open), it opens it with no problem.

I had the problem you discribe with RC1, andI just did a re-test with RC2, and no problems. I'm also using Ooutlook 2003 as well.

As for "windows picture??" and "fax viewer??" I don't see them listed as programs, but rather 'Windows Photo Gallery' and Windows Fax and Scan.'

I'd at least upgrade to RC2, and see if that resolves the issue you're having.
