Hi,
I had the same problem. To fix it, create a text file in notepad and copy and paste the following code to the file. Save the file as imagefix.txt . Close file, then rename file to imagefix.reg double click the file, you will be prompted to add the info to your registry, click yes.
IMPORTANT NOTE: BACK UP REGISTRY BEFORE ATTEMPTING THIS AS IT WILL EDIT YOUR REGISTRY.

Start copying below this line.
