As I understand it, this problem has to do with choosing a program to open
a graphic (image) file when a file association has been changed by the
installation
of another program. You might try holding down the Shift key when you
right-click on an image file. If the image file type already has an
association assigned,
right-clicking on it will not include the "Open with" option in the context
menu. Holding down the Shift key will allow this option to appear. It may,
however,
be further down the list than you might otherwise expect to see it
displayed. In
my case, it is about half-way down the list of options.
