Is it grayed out or just not doing anything when you select it??

Possibly this will sort things out for you. Copy and paste the following to
either a 'Command Prompt' or the "Run" box on the 'Start menu':

regsvr32.exe %SystemRoot%\system32\shimgvw.dll

...then reboot your machine for the 'fix' to take effect.
