By default in Windows 7 image viewer is locked

Hi, I got ArcSoft Photo Studio 5.5 installed on my computer (Windows 7 64 - Bit). It was delivered with a Canon Scanner. It's my Viewer by default as I wanted. I recently bought a HP Scanner and it came bundled with Photo Studio 6. Of course, I thought that that's fine, I can now upgrade my software. I went to install Photo Studio 6. It does not recognize the installation previous Photo Studio 5.5 and installed separately. When I double click on image files they always open in the Photo Studio 5.5.
I have one installed two programs and re installed only Photo Studio 6.

Now, Photo Viewer Windows succeeded as the default viewer. If I go to default programs and click all the checkboxes if selected or not Windows Photo Viewer are grayed out to and you cannot deselect everything.

I've been through the steps"

You can change (set another program as default) your default program following the steps mentioned below:
1. open default programs by clicking the Start button, click default programs.
2. click on associate a type of file or Protocol with a program.
3. click on the file type or protocol that you want the program to act as the default value.
4. click on the change agenda.
5. click on the program that you want to use by default for the selected file type, or click the arrow next to other programs to show other programs. (If you don't see other programs or your program is not listed, click Browse to find the program you want to use, and then click Open. If no other programs are installed that are able to open the type of file or Protocol, your choice will be limited.)

I have manually and selected "PhotoStudio.exe" on the way out, I make sure the always use this program is checked. Instantly, the image opens in "Windows Photo Viewer.
How to control over the programs that I use to open the file types, I want to open?

Thanks a ton.

I found my own solution, it's here for others with the same problem. I scanned the file with Norton Anti Virus, and they appear to be safe.

Download OpenWithAdd.zip and run it. Locate the application you want to add to the Open with dialog box.

Type the command line parameter (if the application requires one) in the appropriate text field. And, optionally, you can give a custom name for the application you are trying to add to open it with. This text appears in the dialog Open with , describing the application. Once this is done, click on register. Your application is now added to the list.

  • Option to print Windows 7 - Image Viewer "page"?

    Hey all,.

    Some of our customers have average 32-page TIF/TIFF files, in Windows XP, they use to hit print and had the ability to print some pages, for example I want pages 1,2,3,14,20,22 and 30 and so you might have to these pages only print.

    In Windows 7, have they removed that feature? a few google searches throw up ideas as it was a downgrade, etc..

    Live from Microsoft Photo Gallery would have this option? Alternatives of the 3rd market part I guess.

    Thank you

    Ryan.

    Ok... I will solve this for you because you guys seem to try to answer the millions of things at once and does not fit... which is pretty poor.

  • Windows 7 photo viewer will not display all images, except in slide show mode.

    I use a laptop computer with a monitor connected via a dock of the USC.  Everything worked fine until today.  When I use the monitor as the only display, windows 7 Photo Viewer does all the images except in slide show mode.   To be more precisely, after clicking on the file, Photo Viewer displays "loading".  If you wait long enough, the image appears later, but if you move or the zoom, the image window disappears.  If you go to the slide, the image appears immediately.  However, if I use my laptop screen, or both screens in extended desktop, Photo Viewer works very well.  Basically, as long as the screen of the laptop is off, photo viewer gets confussed and cannot function properly in slide show mode.

    I read through existing similar questions, but impossible to find a solution.  Help, please!  Thank you!

  • Windows 2000 Kodak Image Viewer

    I used to have Windows 2000 Kodak Image Viewer on my old computer, but on my new computer, I have a newer version of Windows that apparently does not. What I need to download Windows 2000 in order to obtain new image viewer, or I can add it to my current version of Windows? I download pictures and images scanned in a long Word document, and photos must be converted in TIFF format and saved as 300 dpi (because when I finished this Word doc will be converted to PDF by the Publisher), and Image Viewer allowed me to do. Any suggestions?

    My suggestion would be to download & install the freeware "Irfanview".  (IHMO one of the ten best freeware out there).  It will open just about any photo and then you can make a file-> save as and convert any other graphic formats including TIF.  Conversion to 300 dpi, if necessary, can be done through the Image-> resize menu option.  Works on all versions of Windows.

  • Windows 7 Photo Viewer displays a bad JPG image colors.

    Yes, I have the same problem with Windows 7 photo viewer. The colors are not with JPG images.  Other image formats (TIF) is displayed correctly.  The problem occurs only when I put the Windows Photo Viewer mode "play Slide Show". If I manually control the slide show the colors are correct.  This problem seems to be connected in some way on the color management profile attached to the Lady JPG.  I have experimented with the help of different profiles (use Adobe Photo Shop CS5 to edit profiles) and some profiles seem to work (such as ProPhoto RGB) correctly or at least differently. Anyone have any suggestions to solve the problem.

  • Image Viewer Windows will not import the photos. Says it can't read DSCF7703

    error message that says: "the following erro has occurred occurred when importing DSCF7703.jpg.»  The system cannot read the specified device.  I downloaded on this computer many pictures of this camera and it has always worked well.  If I change the importing program, it still does not.

    =============================
    Perhaps you could import the photos manually:

    Connect the camera to the computer via a USB cable and
    Turn on the camera.

    Reach... Start / computer / removable devices
    Storage...

    Look at the drive letters and see if one of them
    represents the camera. He can say removable disk

    If the camera is recognized... right click on the drive letter
    and from the menu choose... Open or explore.

    The directory of the memory card in the camera must
    poster and if you browse through the various
    files, you must find the photo files.

    Once found... you can copy/paste the pictures in a folder
    on your hard drive.

    Simple and the best solution IMHO is to use an internal
    or external USB memory card reader.

    It will not drain your camera batteries and can be faster.
    FWIW... download from the camera when batteries
    can be low after a long photo shoot could result
    corrupted photos.

  • Image Viewer does not offer native zoom level unless layout.css.devPixelsPerPx is set to 1.0, which makes all the tiny interface.

    Asked me to shake my question in one sentence, so this is.
    Image Viewer does not offer native zoom level unless layout.css.devPixelsPerPx is set to 1.0, which makes all the tiny interface.

    DevPixelsPerPx is - 1.0 by default, which causes Firefox to scale with the parameter of the BONE, which is perfectly fine. The problem is that it causes also open image files and especially the zoom level, nationwide also identical to the user interface. A zoom level is adapted to the screen, the other is native. (One is a magnifying glass with a '+', the other a '-'.) Or rather, the other * should * be native, but in practice, it is not native, is climbed by the setting of the BONE, making it as arbitrary and fuzzy like any other level of zoom, which defeats the whole point and does not allow access to a native scaling in any reasonable way.

    If you want to experiment, here is something you can try, a bookmarklet that inserts a 'Native' button on the page. It takes into account your level of "net" zoom current and reduced the image natural dimensions.

    (1) select and copy the following script:

    javascript:var btn=document.createElement('button'); btn.style.cssFloat='right'; btn.appendChild(document.createTextNode('Native')); document.body.insertBefore(btn, document.body.firstChild); btn.addEventListener('click', function(){var img=document.querySelector('img');img.style.transform='scale('+(1/window.devicePixelRatio)+')';}, false); void 0;

    (2) right-click a task on your bookmarks bar or, if you do not display this bar, click on the bookmarks menu button and right click a place there, and then click new bookmark

    (3) paste the script in the location line

    (4) assign a name like native, and then click Add a bookmark

    While you look at a picture, click the bookmark (let) to inject the button. Then click on the button to resize the image.

    Success?

    If you change the zoom level of the 'page', click on the new button to resize it due to the change.

    Hi, Unclemarcus2002,

    You would be wiser to post on the Forum TechNet where there is COMPUTER experts.

    http://social.technet.Microsoft.com/forums/en-us/newThread

    Maybe using the ASSOC and FTYPE command in a script will do what you want? I think that these orders would also apply the association throughout the world, rather than on a per-user basis.

    ASSOC: http:

    FTPYE: http:

    Here is an example, that you can try.

    Let's say you have a text file called "foo.bar" and you want the extension .bar always open with Notepad. There is an association for text files, so get him by typing "Ftype | more' at the command prompt (it will make a major announcement). Finally, you'll see the line "txtfile". On mine, it's "txtfile=%systemroot%\system32\notepad.exe %1" without the quotes.

    First create your association: assoc .bar = FooBarText

    Now to assign your request to your file type association: ftype FooBarText=%systemroot%\system32\notepad.exe %1

    You should now be able to double-click the foo.bar file and it will automatically open in Notepad.

    If you already have a Microsoft Office Document Imaging association, I think that it should be relatively simple type of substitution. Use ftype /? for a little more help.

  • When open my photo album file and clicking on a photo to see the excel program opens the image viewer.

    I open an email with pictures.  When I click on the photo attached to the view, the excel program opens and not the image viewer.

    One of photo accessories save somewhere you can find it (for example, your desktop computer).
    Right-click on the file that you saved and select open with, then select "Choose program" (at the bottom of the context menu).

    If the program you want to use is listed as one of the "recommended programs", select it, click on the box to "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file" and click OK.

    If you want to use the Windows Picture and Fax Viewer to view photos (personally, I like free IrfanView better) AND it is NOT listed as a program "recommended" or under "Other programs", follow the instructions below:

    in Windows Explorer:

    • On the Tools menu, click folder... Options
    • Click the File Types tab.
    • Scroll down to the extension that you like, for example "JPG".
    • Press the restore button, if it exists.
    • Press the Advanced button.
    • Click the Open action.
    • Click on change...
    • In the Application used to perform action: enter C:\WINDOWS\system32\rundll32.exe C:\WINDOWS\System32\shimgvw.dll,ImageView_Fullscreen %1. "C:\WINDOWS" is the directory that contains your Windows installation.
    • Press OK

    You'll want to repeat for each extension (GIF, JPG, JPEG, etc.) for which you want to change the behavior.
