Can't change log on picture

[Rick Johnson]

When I try to change the small picture on the log on screen I'm able to
pick from a series of photos, but when I click on the change picture
button a window appears that says "Automation Server Can't Create
Object". Can anybody help so that I can change the picture? Thanks

Hi Rick,

Did you happen to un-register Picture and Fax Viewer? If so, go to
Start/Run and type in: regsvr32 shimgvw.dll. Then try to change the
picture again.

Other checkpoints:

Default Pictures are stored here:

Windows Explorer\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application
Data\Microsoft\User Account Pictures\Default Pictures

Restore User Default Pictures (Line 58)

How to Add a Specific Picture

Find a picture you are interested in using and use Save As to download
and/or move the picture in question to your My Pictures Folder. Then go to
User Account/Change my picture/Browse for more pictures/My Pictures
Folder/Choose the picture you want to use, then click Open.

Summary of an image is 48x48/71 dpi, depth 24.

That was it. Added the line to the registry and it is working fine
now. Many thanks.
