All my icons have been changed in the Windows Photo Viewer

and everytime I open an icon it says that windows Photo Viewer cannot open it because I don't have the latest version of the photo viewer, I want just my icons back and open them the right program

Looks like you may have a virus or other malware. Get your updated antivirus program and boot into Safe Mode. Note that some viruses can hide from your normal antivirus program, so you really need to scan in Safe Mode. To enter in Safe Mode when you turn on first, press F8 on every seconds until you get the menu, and then select Safe Mode. Then run a complete system scan.

If that suits him fine. If this is not the case, use system restore to go back to an earlier date at the beginning of the problem. To run system restore, click Start-> programs-> Accessories-> System Tools-> system restore. Click on the box that says show more restore points.

-

You can check the corrupted system files. Open an administrator command prompt and run SFC if the above does not help. Click START, and then type CMD in the search box, right-click on CMD. EXE and click run as administrator. Then, from the command prompt type sfc/scannow.

-

Finally if all else fails, you can look at the rather cryptic system event log. To do that click on start-> Control Panel-> administration-> event viewer tools. Once in Event Viewer system log-click and scroll entries looking for these "error" with indicator see if you can find guidance on where the problem may be.

`

When you get your system in good working condition, I invite you to back up your system up to an external hard drive and make it regular periodic updates.

I hope this helps. Good luck.

This happens to the files without administrator rights. Understand that the last time WinXP also had this problem but it had been fixed. Any resolution for Windows 7?

    Here are the steps to change the ownership and permissions of files and folders:

    a. right click on the file or folder, click Propertiesand then click the Security tab.

  • "Fix" mode in the windows photo viewer 7

    Having had only windows 7 during about 2 months now, I used the windows photo viewer to make minor changes on my photos. Red eyes, cropping etc. black and white. This has been achieved by clicking on the word "Fix" on the tab at the top of the photo, with the file, print, open, e-mail and burn. For some reason I seem to have lost this application at night. Please can someone help as I use it much this tool. Im not sure if she disappeared with the last update of download.

    Thank you

    Photo Viewer is part & parcel of your operating system (Windows 7). I never saw an update to the photo viewer.

  • Problems to tiff in the Windows Photo Viewer files

    I'm having a problem with a multi-page tif 1 MB file in Windows 7 with the Windows Photo Viewer, but can open the file on any of our workstations Windows XP with Windows Picture and Fax Viewer. The error I get is:

    "Windows Photo Viewer cannot open the image because the file seems corrupted, altered, or is too large."

    I installed the Windows TIFF IFilter, and we can get a preview of this same tif file in Outlook 2007 on Windows 7 computers. Just can't understand why Windows XP is not a problem but because of Windows 7.

    Thank you.

    You have great people skills. Keep it up.

    Have a nice day and thanks again for your help.

  • Scroll bar on the Windows Photo Viewer

    How you activate/display the scroll bar on the Windows Photo Viewer?  I use two Thinkpad T400, one with Vista and the other is 7.  On the Vista machine, when I open a large photo, the scroll bar appears so I can go up or down quickly.  7, this scroll bar disappeared.

    Y at - it a patch that I can apply to get it back?  It seems that it is not in the option or settings...  It's REALLY DOULOUREUX because I have to deal with large images.  And I will return to the Vista even though I hate so much.

    Help, please!

    Hi Omoikane-kun,

    This is normal, instead of the scroll bar, you can left click and use the symbol of the hand to scroll up and down to view the full image or adapt to the screen.

  • I'm having a problem with the Windows Photo Viewer!

    Hello

    My windows is not working. Whenever I tried to open a photo through the windows photo viewer. It shows an error massage.

    And here's the screenshot of this massage...

    So, I thought that there is something missing in the folder of windows photo viewer. And checked the file. And I saw that there is no file exe to the windows photo viewer. So, how it will run if there is no Executive file? After the second that tried to download this program net. It is not available anywhere. So please tell me how can I recover this file? How I open a photo through the windows photo viewer?

    You must identify the program, the pilot or the malicious program that uses the host to consume resources, but these system related processes is not a good idea.

    Read the technical notes for advanced malware cleaning (identifying your process) and download process explorer to help ID the source of the problem.

    There are resources within Windows for process ID using the columns PID, but I think process explore might be easier for you to use.

  • File names have been changed to the GUID

    Yesterday, three different actions on our servers had their folder names, replaced by what looks like GUID / their subfolders are unchanged and the files are in tact. Only root in sharing folders have been changed. Windows Server 2008.

    Other than manually, how can I get back them?

    Hi John,.

    It is usually the cause of these cryptographic records when there is an update. But nothing to worry because they do not affect the actual content of your files.

    We suggest that you try to rename them manually.

    Kind regards

  • Password error cannot have been changed to my Windows password

    I just change my Windows password.  At the end of the process, I got a pop-up message that maybe encountered a problem and my password may NOT have been changed.  I received an e-mail in Outlook that my password has been changed, etc, etc, etc.

    My concern is if I let Windows and that I'll be able to recover using my old password or my other?  If not, where should I go for Windows help if I can't get into Windows?

    Original title: change password

    Hi Denny,

    If the computer has a different user account which is administrator, you can still use the other account to reset the password of the account of the Moose (administrators can force change other user passwords).

    If you are the only user of the computer, I always recommend that you create an account additional administrator on the computer that can be used for recovery or emergency situations.  This must be a local account that is not connected to a service account or by email online.  For example, on my computer I log in with my Email account, but there is also a "shawn administrator" account on the computer that has a simple password.  I've never used this account, but it's there if I need it.

    So if you are involved (or even if you're not), I would create a local account on the computer as an admin full.  You're not likely to need it, but if you do, this will prevent you from becoming locked.

  • Microsoft should update Windows Media Player to play all kinds of videos and upgrade the Windows Photo Viewer to open all types of photos

    Original title: microsoft should spend there windows media player that can play any type of vedio.it will traditionally use media player to download other players instead.

    Microsoft should there be upgraded windows media player that can play any type of vedio.it will traditionally use media player to download other players instead. and also upgrad windows photo viewer to open all types of photos...

    The latest version of Windows Media Player that could open almost any multimedia file was version 6.4. Starting from this version, Microsoft have not been allowed to allow WMP to play almost any type of media file, and they were taken to court top.

    That's why Microsoft does not now permit. Apparently, the decisions of the Court are there to give other media players, including Apple stuff, a foothold in the market. I don't think Microsoft 3rd party codecs use same lawyer in case they have trouble.
