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? Terry, East Grinstead, UK |

Just checked my (rather older) IrfanView 32 on a 32-bit Win-10 and PAINT.DLL is listed as a plug-in. Perhaps if you have both 32- and 64-bit installed the program is trying to use the wrong version? By the way, I install to C:\Tools\ rather than the more protected Program Files tree(s), but I wouldn't recommend that for a shared PC. -- Cheers, David Web: http://www.satsignal.eu |
