Unable to display pictures using Windows Photo viewer, error: COM Surrogate.

Hi RazorCallahan,

Are you using Intel display drivers?

If so, most of the people have been able to solve the problem by rolling back to the previous Intel driver which solves the 'COM Surrogate' error.

For more information, you can consult at the suggestion of steve314159 from the following link:

I hope this helps.

It seems that the pilot was the problem, but when I scroll the photos is always a little slow/lag.

  • Cannot rotate JPEG of DSC-WX350 pictures in Windows Photo Viewer. Should use memories of play?

    I recently bought a Sony DSC-WX350 and uploaded pictures on my PC. I can see/open the pictures, but I can't rotate JPEG images using Windows Photo Viewer (I can easily rotate images taken with my Canon and Olympus cameras). I tried to rotate the images on two different PC's with the same result (using Windows 8). Sony offers a software play memories, but I don't want to download and use yet another software package when all I want to do is rotate images before sharing them with family and friends. If I rotate the images before sharing them, my family / friends would have to download the software of memories play in order to rotate/edit? I tried not to actually change the photos again, which could also be a problem. I tend to return the camera. Thank you

    Hello xctour,

    Please check the image properties and uncheck [read-only] only then try to rotate the image or rotate the image using Microsoft Paint.

  • Cannot open a pictures using Windows Photo Gallery

    BAD WINDOWS PHOTO GALLERY!

    My Windows Photo Gallery says it cannot open the image because it is used by another program? I'm trying to save some pictures of fotoflexer, he saves but the pic appears blank in the folder when I try to see...

    1. I don'thave open other programs

    2. I can see the other images that are saved on my computer

    Can someone help me with this problem? I had no trouble using windows photo gallery it any other time so far...

    Hi MsNesha,
     
    What is the exact message you get?
     
    As the message States, it could be used by fotoflexer. A probability is, after you have changed the images that you would not have saved it in fotoflexer.
     
    Close the fotoflexer application after you save the photos and then try to view the photos edited in Windows Live Photo Gallery.
     
    If the problem persists, you can remove (delete) the photos published of fotoflexer and then make a folder and paste and he discovers via the Windows Photo Gallery.

  • Change the order of pictures in Windows Photo Viewer?

    I was wondering if anyone knows if it is possible to change the order in which Windows Photo Viewer load images? To clarify, if you use a large (or whatever that either size) display of the icon in a folder, when I hit the "next" or the "back" button, rather than display the image to the left or right of the current one, photo viewer load the preceding or beneath it.  Basically the program reads from top to bottom in vertical columns, rather than left to right on a horizontal line. Is it possible to fix this?

    No sorry, there is no configuration for this.

  • Distortion of color in Windows Photo Viewer

    In the last few weeks I noticed that when I go to see a preview of a picture using Windows Photo Viewer, it has a tinge of yellow/orange in it and because of this I don't really see that are the colors of the image. This happens with every photo I discovered without worrying about its format (jpg, gif, png, etc.). I am able to see the photo in a slideshow with its normal colors and open the image in another program (for example, paint or Gimp) displays the image normally as well. Other colors properly on my screen as well (nothing seems out of the ordinary) until I click on an image to preview.

    Here's what I see: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v353/Kuuchan/distortion.jpg
