Install of Office 2003 breaks the camera wizard

[Scott Doyle]

I just installed my copy of Office 2003 on XP Pro. Prior
to the install inserting my compact flash card into the
reader would bring up the Camera/Scanner Wizard and I
could easily copy the pictures to my computer. Now that
Office 2003 is installed only a folder opens. No wizard!

Also, my Resize pictures "Powertoy" is no longer listed on
the right-click menu.

I use both of these features A LOT and now I've got to
spend a day trying to figure out how to get back to the
functionality I had before the install of Office 2003.

Don't tell me to right-click on the drive and go to the
Autoplay tab to set the action because I have and that has
no effect.

If I uninstall the Picture Manager I beleive it will fix
this but I'd prefer to be able to use it too!

Microsoft I reported this problem in the beta of Office
2003 and you obviously ignored the issue.

Does anyone have a solution to get the wizard working
again?

The fix for the resizer powertoy was posted in the General Questions area.

The fix is:

Try running this from Start | Run | Type > regsvr32 shimgvw.dll


Worked for me!
