[AccessD] Graphic Does Not Show On Another Machine

A97 runtime.

I have a similar problem with a WXP computer that is not showing JPG 
graphics in a report.  The computer doesn't seem to have the C:\Program 
Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Grphflt\MS.JPG file installed.  Is it a 
simple matter of copying the file into the folder, or does some sort of 
installation need to take place?

Regards
