.PNG files no longer associate in IE7

..PNG files no longer display.
Instead, I get little place holders with a red x.

How do I re-associate within IE7.

Thanks

On my Vista PC the file extension .PNG is associated with Windows Photo Gallery.
Go to Program Defaults to change the file associations.

Try this:

Start -> Run... -> regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\pngfilt.dll (and click OK).

I think the OP wants IE to display .png pictures as he browses, but not
necessarily have IE as the default application to open files with a .png
extension on his hard drive if he clicks on one.

right click on a PNG file -> Open with -> browse for Internet Explorer and
save the setting

But all othe graphics do display properly? If no graphics display, try this.
There is a setting in IE - Tools - Inernet Options - Advanced tab
scroll down to Multimedia and verify that 'show image download placeholders'
is not checked and 'show pictures' is checked.

I have tried all fixes outlined in this newsgroup and nothing has helped. I
can right click on a red x displayed image and copy and paste to desktop and
open the image with every program but IE7/Vista. Firefox works fine as well.
I have tried this as well:

regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\pngfilt.dll

I am using a brand new HP dv9000 that came with Vista Premium installed.
After just one week of running the ability to display .png images in IE7 has
gone away.

I have tried running IE7 with no add ons. I've removed and reinstalled
QuickTime. I have turned off my Eset NOD32 AV software. Show pictures is
checked in advanced settings. All other image types display fine.

Help!

hey guys, i have the same problem. PNGs show red x in IE7. I have
firefox, and it works fine in that browser.
I have tried the
regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\pngfilt.dll
and it comes back with error :

The module "c:\windows\system32\pngfilt.dll" was loaded but the
entry-point DllRegisterServer was not found. Make sure that
"pngfilt.dll" is a valid DLL or OCX file.

I replaced the file (pngfilt) with one from a driver download site, and
still no luck.

Im using a Dell D620 notebook, with Nvidia video. Fresh install with
Vista Ultimate 32bit.

A friend has the SAME D620, but he got his upgrade through dell (free
upgrade), hes on a fresh install with Vista Business 32 bit, and his
PNG displays perfectly, so I dont think its a hardware issue.

ive also tried changing the png association to IE7, still no luck. Ive
been sort of hanging around - waiting for someone else to have this
problem, and fix it.
any ideas guys?

This issue is affecting me too. IE does not display .png images. All other
images display correctly. My registry has the mentioned entry, but it still
does not work.

I did some testing and found that if I log on as another user (IE: guest),
then .png images display in IE7. Also, if I run IE as Administrator, .png's
display. Furthermore, if I turn of UAC, .png's display.

Only when I am logged on to my account, with UAC enabled, the .png's are
blocked from IE. Everything else is working fine. I have tried re-setting
IE back to factory settings, disabling all add-ins, turning off protected
mode and phishing filters. My Multimedia settings in Advanced Options are
correct.

Lots of articles point to re-registering the pngfilt.dll file, but it is
registered properly with the latest version. Also, if I try to re-register
it using regsvr32, I get the same error message discussed in the 3/25 post.

I believe this is a direct result of a problem with UAC. I still want to
keep UAC enabled, but I would like to correct this problem without running IE
as Admin all the time.

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
