Re: PCWorks: FIX for PNG files & IE corrupted by "Fireworks"

[[EMAIL PROTECTED] -Clint Hamilton]

I want to thank all that replied to this (Ben, Jeff, Linda,
Peter, Roger...sorry if I left anyone out), it's appreciated.
What fixed this finally was a restoration of the registry
from a few days ago.  Don't know how or why I forgot to try
that, guess I was TOOOOO ticked off about what this program
did!

Clint,
When you search the registry for Fireworks, .png, etc, make
sure you are
searching the data and keys, etc.
I believe it has been more than five days since you did
this--but if not,
you can also restore your registry from five days ago.
Jeff
