Hope all is well. I am sorry to bother you but in the middle of photo editing for my next book Nero Photo Snap freaked out without reason or warning.
It was perfect on Monday and all of a sudden as of Tuesday regardless of size, quality, or colors any JPEG picture on the computer or on a disc will not open. It seems that it doesn't even show at this point a JPEG being a file it will understand.
What happened please and how do I rectify this?
The computer had no other issues. Spyware/Adware/Anti-virus run daily, very little stored on the computer.

This should help. It actually was one out of 1 trillion times a tech support email knew what to do and how to explain it! It is strange that it freaks out with no warning. Check choices 1 and 2 first. This worked but it took 2x. Good luck and be well, craig
The functionality of PhotoSnap is implemented in several plugins. Each plugin is a *.dll file in the PhotoSnap directory. If some functionality is missing in PhotoSnap, the most likely cause for this are either defective plugins, missing plugins or a faulty plugin registration. Please check if all required files are present:
1.
The following plugin files must be found in the PhotoSnap Directory:
"BasicFilters.dll", "FImgPlg.dll", "PhotoEffects.dll" and "XImgPlg.dll".
After a standard installation of Nero 6, you will find the PhotoSnap directory under the following path:
"C:\Program Files\Ahead\Nero PhotoSnap"
The exact path may vary depending upon the settings when installing Nero 6.
The problems you encounter can occur if one or more files are not available. This can be fixed by reinstalling Nero using the Nero CleanTool. For details please go to step 3.
2.
If all of these files are present, then please try to register the plugins again. The first step is to launch Nero PhotoSnap. In PhotoSnap please select "Options" (Hammer icon). Then please click on "Plugins....". Now select "unregister all" and confirm with "yes". Then please close both dialog windows. Now select Options again and select "register plugin".
Now choose the plugin files mentioned above. And open each of these files separately.
If the plugins are not displayed, you will find them in the PhotoSnap directory.
Now close and reopen PhotoSnap. The problem should now be solved. If it still occurs, please send us a list of the files in your PhotoSnap directory along with the file version information.

To solve the problem we suggest that you uninstall all Nero 6 applications from your computer first and proceed by reinstalling Nero 6 completely. Please proceed with the following three steps:

For a later reinstallation of Nero 6 it is necessary that you find and note your serial number before uninstalling Nero.
It is structured as follows: 1A2x-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx and is either located on the inside of the Nero jewel case or on the back of the paper sleeve that the Nero CD came in.
You can also get your serial number via Nero StartSmart.

Click the "Run" command.
-> The window "Run" will open.
Enter "regedit" in the "Open" text field and click the "OK" button.
