    It's just stopped working altogether, I double click on a picture but nothing happens, it doesn't even attempt to open up... Is there any way of uninstalling it & reinstalling it?

    Would you have disabled/un-registered a DLL last week in relation to the WMF exploit?

    try this anyway to re-register the win/fax/viewer.

    Goto Start > Run and past this in regsvr32 shimgvw.dll and click ok

    If thats indeed what you did, remember to goto Microsoft Update and get the official patch.
