• Windows Photo Viewer displays only the gray scale. No color.

  I am running Windows 7.  When I print a document on the web, it prints in color.  If print it by using the default program (Windows Photo Viewer) it prints in grayscale.  Have checked all the settings, but can't seem to find what is causing this problem.  I tried printing from other programs and I don't get color.

  Everybody out there affected by this problem and what did you do to correct the problem.  Thank you.

• How to change the brightness, contrast, and color in the photo viewer in Windows 7?

  Change the brightness, contrast, and color in the photo viewer in win 7?

  How to change the brightness, contrast and color in the windows photo viewer 7 (I used the fix option in xp and vista)
  Thanks for any help.

  Hi epse30,

  In Windows Vista Windows Picture and Fax Viewer has been replaced by the Windows Photo Gallery and there was an option to set the brightness, contrast, etc by using the Fix as you said.

  Unfortunately, this option is not available with the Windows Photo Viewer in Windows 7.

  However, Windows Live Photo Gallery has a number of easy to use tools for things like red eye fixing or clearing exposure and low light situations. Windows Live Photo Gallery gives you more creative control over your photos. You can download Windows Live Photo Gallery for free from the link below;

  The above article is for Windows Vista, but it remains valid for Windows 7 as well.

• Strange tint Windows Photo Viewer

  I had a problem with the Windows Photo Viewer. Whenever I load an image, the entire window, image included, is given to this strange beige hue. It is the only program where it happens. The thumbnail is color correctly and it is coloured corectly seen in a slide show, but not in a preview. That seems independent of all the moniter settings or custom window color settings. Any ideas?

• Windows Photo Viewer shows the files blank JPEG thumbnails (inside folders) poster white icon, already tried a lot of Solutions - please help! S.O.S.

  Dear all,

  I have this problem:

  

  All JPEG files are normal, I tried to open with the help of Adobe Photoshop CS5. But if I use it to watch my files, it takes too long to load.

  This is the case if I try to open them using the Windows Photo Viewer:

  

  It's when I try to open it with Adobe Photoshop CS5:

  

  So the file is fine, they are non-empty JPEG.

  The difficulties I've tried before posting on the forum:

  - Fix it with Microsoft to photo viewer

  Fix It for animals works well and could not find any problem though, so nothing is fixed.

  - Removal 'External event AMD' Service

  Nothing change

  - Removal of color for the monitor profiles

  Nothing to change also

  - Updated all the drivers and windows

  Nothing change

  - Boot in Safe Mode

  The thumbnails are displayed correctly and "Windows Photo Viewer" display my images perfectly well BUT...

  - Start in Normal Mode with all the Services of persons with disabilities (except Microsoft)

  The problem happens again, that the thumbnails are blank and the images also.

  - Cleaning disc (with checked "thumbnails")

  The problem still exists

  

  - Set programs "Default" for the Windows Photo Viewer

  The problem still exists

  - Run SFC/scannow From The Command Line

  The problem still exists, and the SFC somehow told me that my Windows is fine

  

  - Removal of hidden miniature manual

  The problem still exists

  - Windows Live Essentials installation and use the 'Photo Gallery'

  Photo Gallery crashes all the time after asking if I want to associate files "JXR" or not, but I'm not on this topic, but this does not solve the problem.

  I tried every step, I have found on various types of forum, but not the last magic: Reinstall Windows, I really want to solve this problem without cleaning Windows installation if possible, and I'm so in love with "Windows Photo Viewer" because it's simple, fast, and it is very precious to me. I tried free viewer and FastStone Image Viewer but is a bit complicated, controls are small and it always comes out in full screen, I need this so baaad.

  My computer is:

  A10-7800 Kaveri AMD processor

  RAM 8GB Corsair Vengeance DDR3 black

  Western Digital 1 TB Caviar Black hard drive

  Motherboard ASRock FM2A88X +.

  Power supply Corsair VS550

  OS: Windows 7 64-bit

  Thanks in advance :) I really want this wrong, please...

  Dear Ramesh,

  I thank very you much for your time to help me, after tumbling around with other solutions, windows finished in "the RPC server is blahblah" thing a bit, then I reinstalled everything from the ground up and the problem disappeared... I don't know what happened to the previous window, I am now using the same drivers, same software, except perhaps the earlier had too many junks (I think this is the classic problem with windows, after sometimes he collected too and begins to act dumb)

  It seems that the problem came, neither windows nor the drivers... But too bad it should remain as an "Unsolved Mystery": P

  Anyway thanks, see again you and Merry Christmas and happy new year to you

• Too much contrast in the windows photo viewer

  Recently, I noticed that when I open an image in windows photo viewer, there is way to much contrast than usual. I tried to play with my display settings, and it solves nothing. I also noticed that when I open the picture in photoshop, it shows good contrast, but when opening the same photo with Photo Viewer, there is a lot of contrast. This problem also goes for the images on firefox.

  Here is an example. This is the same exact picture, nothing has changed.
  http://i48.Photobucket.com/albums/F206/optionboarder81/contrast.PNG

  OK... you're right... I adjusted the brightness of my screen
  and now the left photo has more detail... especially the buildings
  you mentioned in the background.

  Maybe you have a color profile that is at the origin of the problem.

  I had some files in my recent windows 7 the name of the color of my files and folders become green but I didn't know what happens later.
  After awhile, I changed my windows and I install the same windows 7 86 x just like before.
  I can't open these files that retain the names of Greens.
  These files are almost JPEG and PSD(Photo shop).
  I can't copy, cut. name change. delete, then open them with any computer, such as windows photo viewer software, photo shop, see ACD and other software.
  I surfed on the Internet and someone said that there is a software which is $ 26 but there is no guarantee that it works and files could not be opened.
  someone said your question to help Microsoft because they are the only one who have the codec for this file.
  Perhaps because the user or changed windows shows this error code.
  If anyone can help, please solution.

  I calibrated my screen and I am convinced that my ICC profile is correct.

• Windows Photo Viewer does not properly after installing Spyder 4 Express

  I installed Spyder 4 Express.    Open photoshop and got message this - original use - incorrect color profile so used original and all the images look OK.   But the photos opened through Explorer files (correct thumbnails), but when I preview with Windows Photo Viewer, the images are all very tinted orange.    I then removed Spyder 4 Express hoping to remove the colour profile info, no luck.   All other photo in other software and wallpaper moniter views are correct.   What should I do to correct the display color in the Windows Photo Viewer.

  Hello

  Thanks for posting your concern on the forum.

  According to the description of the question when you preview with Windows photos Photo Viewer are all very tinted orange. Maybe this is a chance that display drivers are getting corrupted or need to be updated.

  As you are referring to the Windows Photo Viewer, I suggest you to check the Windows Photo Viewer is defined as program default for Open the images. You can follow the steps mentioned below to check that.

  1. Press on the the window key + W.

  2. In Search box type in default programs , and then press enter.

  3. Click on Sand your default program.

  4. Now right-click on the Windows Photo Viewer, and then select set this program as default.

  For more details, you can refer to the following Microsoft article mentioned.

  Choose the apps Windows uses by default

  If the problem persists, try to update the drivers and install Windows updates. Drivers are updated occasionally. Windows can update automatically, or you can install the drivers updated yourself. It is important for you to have confidence in the updated drivers that you install. Windows warns you if it detects a suspicious or dangerous driver, you should not install.

  Download and install the drivers

  Hope it would help. If problem persists always post back with the current state of your computer and the result of the proposed suggestion, we will be happy to help you.

  Kind regards

• Satellite C650 - Windows Photo Viewer crashes at every time currently in use

  Hi all

  My C650 is a new purchase and so far I was not able to view photos; on a memory stick, in "My pictures" or any form using the Windows Photo Viewer. Once I double click the photo icon, the image enlarged to full screen and freezes at "loading" is displayed.

  At this point, I can't even finish the process using windows Task Manager. I am only a student quite inexperienced in the functioning of computers, so any help will be greatly appreciated!

  Please don t get me wrong, but the best option for you is to ask a friend to you how it works and how to deal with different applications and different image formats.
  I mean who knows what pictures you have, which forms, what capacity and so on.

  With the standard format jpg, to avoid any problems. For example, in the windows Explorer you can find Public folder pictures with a few sample photos. You can open these photos?

• Windows 7, Windows Photo Viewer

  When I try to open attachments photo (jpeg), it defaults to the Windows Photo Viewer, says loading but does nothing more immediately to freeze my HP computer. I have then close and restart my computer. Efforts to re - open the attachment has the same result. How can I solve this problem?

  Hello michael11

  Initially, Windows Photo Viewer is part of the operating system, but Microsoft's move into the Windows Essentials Application. I'm linking you to the site that you can go to download and install Microsoft Windows Essentials.

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Live/Essentials

  I would like to download the full version of the software because an update for the Windows operating system you are using, or Photo Viewer Windows could have altered the application or could prevent you from using the application as it is not installed as expected the update.

  I would like to know if this fix works and if you have any other comments or concerns please feel free to re-post.
