    Well. its not a major problem . You can easily make it correct with some simple steps. Just follow this steps:-

    1. First of all rename the shimgvw.dll file to old_shimgvw.dll and move it to some another folder. You will find this folder at C:\WINDOWS\system32\.

    2. Now you need to place the new file there which you can do from the XP CD.

    3. open the command prompt from Start and type EXPAND F:\i386\SHIMGVW.DL_ %WINDIR%\SYSTEM32\SHIMGVW.DLL. Remember to change the letter 'F' with your CD/DVD Drive letter.

    4. Now place the file in C:\WINDOWS\system32\ folder, after it is been copied from the CD.

    5. Now use this command to register the fresh copy:-
    regsvr32 shimgvw.dll
    regsvr32 /i shimgvw.dll
    6. Now you'll see the dialog saying “DllRegisterServer in SHIMGVW.DLL succeeded”.

    Thats it.. You are done !!
