Radiance Winimage Registry Key Missing

The Radiance Winimage (winimage.exe) is a RGBE (.pic) picture file format viewer by LBNL, located in C:\Radiance\bin. If you have installed Desktop Radiance v2.0 beta in standalone mode on a PC, there is a chance that Winimage won't work:

• RGBE .pic files do not open automatically in Winimage
• Trying to launch Winimage by double clicking C:\Radiance\bin\winimage.exe gives the following fatal error.



Fix
• Add the missing key manually.
• Modify the associations manually.
Launch regedit


1. Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER->Software->Lawerence Berkeley National Laboratory, right click on Lawerence Berkeley National Laboratory, select New-->Key and enter Desktop Radiance.
2. Right click on the right side of the Registry Editor, select New-->String Value and enter DRADPATH.
3. Right click on the newly created DRADPATH entry, select Modify and set Value Data to the path where winimage.exe is located, ie. C:\Radiance\bin



Winimage should now be able to be launched properly.
To associate .pic files, modify settings in Windows Explorer, naviagte to Tools->Folder Options->File Types, scroll down to select PIC File, select Change in the Details section below, select Browse in the Open With window, and select C:\Radiance\bin\winimage.exe.

When tabs are missing in Display Properties

Usually caused by malware, including hitting malicious websites

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System

Entries with values such as NoDispScrSavPage and NoDispScrSavPage with vaules of 1 will disable corresponding tabs. Change the value to 0 or delete the entries to enable the tabs.

Yes, NAV sucks. Check msconfig->Startup for suspicious exe. Then delete correspond registry keys and the exes.
