===================================
To reset the Rotate dialog...try the following...

Open an image in Windows Picture and Fax Viewer...

Hold your Ctrl key and close the viewer...(X on titlebar)

You should see a dialog that says:

"Any rotation warnings that you may have suppressed
have been reset, and may appear again when you
rotate a picture."

Now you may need to run the following command:

Go to...Start / Run and type
(or copy/paste):

"REGSVR32 SHIMGVW.DLL"
(without the quotes)(Yes, there's
a space between 2 and S)

Click...OK.

A dialog box should report the following:

"DllRegisterServer in SHIMGVW.DLL succeeded"


Try rotating your pictures...
