IrfanView plugin stopped working siuddenly
Puzzled to find that a function of IrfanView I use many times a day is
not working this morning. Hitting F12 should pop-up a frequently used
tool window. I now get the error message:
Can't load Plugln: "PAlNT.DLL" !
Please install or update Pluglns from IrfanView homepage!
Re-installing (several times) made no difference. Nor a fresh download
of irfanview_plugins_444_setup.exe
Looking in C:\Program Files (x86)\IrfanView\Plugins I was also a bit
surprised to find that Paint.dll was not present. But nor was it in my
nightly or weekly backup of that folder. Which implies that perhaps it's
not *supposed* to be present - adding to the puzzle.
It *is* present in the 64-bit IrfanView version, and works properly. I
followed a recommendation to use the 32-bit version because more
plug-ins are supported!
Anyone know what might be going on here please?
