Update of Windows 8 caused computer lose Viewer Windows Photo and others.

Today, Windows 8 installed about 27 updates.  Then I noticed that I couldn't open the .jpg files.  After some research, I found that I could open them with Office Picture Manager and program of Metro Photo.  But I can not print these .jpg by right-clicking on files in file Explorer and choose print.  However, I can print through their opening in Office Picture Manager and go to the file - print.  I really don't want to spend the time necessary to reinstall the printer drivers and who knows what else I need to reinstall because of these updates.  I noticed that the system restore program tells me that many programs is deleted if I choose the system restore to before the update.  Scary, right.  I did this kind of stuff on computers for many years, and I know that if I bomb, there is a lot of hours to spend trying to get back to this.  Anyone have any suggestions of quick fix?

Thank you for your prompt response and try to help me solve the problem.  However, I worked on that until I realized that I had installed the wrong display driver.  I had remembered that we had the latest updates for Windows 8 to do with a new display driver.  So, I checked the web site for the ATI Radeon HD video driver I have and found that AMD has a new driver for this computer and the map.  I downloaded and installed, and many problems such as the one that eliminated the on my computer Windows Photo Viewer were immediately resolved.  So, in my humble view, somehow thought Windows I should change my video driver to whom they have downloaded on my computer in the recent update, but this driver was not correct for my setup.  Do not complain about the updates, but it seems to me that the problem.  In any case, thank you, and this problem is solved.

  • My computer turns off during an update to windows xp and now windows xp will not load.

    My computer turns off during an update to windows xp and now windows xp will not load.  It gives me the option of last known good configuration and safe mode startup and normal startup, but it just goes back to the loading screen then flashes a blue error screen then back to display boot options.  I don't have a recovery disc as the laptop does not have a CD-ROM drive or a floppy drive.  I have the product key, but I don't know where or how repair the operating system.

    Contact the manufacturer of your laptop as there must be a way to restore the computer. There may be a hidden restore partition.

  • I would like to know the "best practices" for unplugging my computer permanently to the internet and other updates.

    Thank you for taking the time to read this. I would like to know the "best practices" for unplugging my computer permanently to the internet and other updates. I thought I would do a clean install of Windows XP, install my Microsoft Works again and nothing else. I would like to effectively transforming my computer into a word processor. He continues more and more slow. I get blue screen errors, once again. I received excellent Microsoft Support when it happened before, but since my computer is around 13 years, I think it is not worth the headache to try to remedy. I ran the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor, and my computer would not be able to upgrade. Please, can someone tell me how to make it only a word processor without updates or internet connection? (I already have a new computer with Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium, it's the computer that I use. The old computer is just sitting there and once a week or so I updates.) I appreciate your time, thank you!

  • I have just updated to windows 8 and I hate it. How to return windows 7?

    I have just updated to windows 8 and I hate it.  How to return windows 7?

    Hello

    Clean, install your Windows 7 Media 7 or restore the Windows 7 System Image that you did before upgrading Windows 8.

    If you don't have that:

    The only legal Windows 7 download available is now Microsoft, as Microsoft has stopped DigitalRiver Windows 7 ISO downloads.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/en-us/software-recovery

    But Microsoft only provides these downloads for Windows 7 keys to selling product at retail, not preinstalled OEM product keys (Dell, HP, etc.).

    If you have a Windows 7 license detail and are having trouble at the above Web site, contact Microsoft using the Support option.

    If you have a preinstalled OEM license (Dell, HP, etc.), contact the manufacturer of your computer to order recovery media that they need to provide for a fee.

    Or you can also borrow the same exact retail edition DVD of Windows 7 and use your product key to reinstall.

    See you soon.

    This is a complete scam.  You can report it to your local police.

    For your own protection, you should:
    • Change your passwords on email accounts, accounts financial and sensitive to which accounts you access online from this PC.  RIGHT NOW!
    • Run a full scan of your PC using your antivirus application...    Also download and run a full scan with Malwarebytes Anti-malware (free edition).  MBAM is a very good solution in addition to your primary backup antivirus/antimalware application.
    • I would also go here: https://www.microsoft.com/security/portal/Shared/Help.aspx and follow the advice of "I think that my PC is infected", including potentially calls MS help.
    • Above all, do not delay!  If you have any concerns about the handling of it, then disconnect your computer from the internet and call MS before anything else.

  • important updates for Windows 7 and windows 10

    In the optional updates, I've disabled windows 10. For important updates, I checked several updates security for windows 7 (updates are October; there are updates 42 total now). I click ok and then download. The next screen that appears includes "Download windows 10 get installation files."  I canceled the update. The message on the screen that results is "some updates were not installed cancelled 2 updates. He has also "two important updates selected."  When I click on "Try again", windows download 10 configuration files will reappear. I chose a small update to see if the file would actually download and the next screen is the screen with the message Windows 10.

    What is happening with the update windows 7 security and other files?

    I have just updated to Windows 7 and when I try to run a backup they fail.  It seems that whenever a program tries to update the external HARD disk where backups reside it requires administrator permissions.

    Looking at the options Microsoft suggest that their user account control system is not supported by my version of SyncToy. What can I do? I'm looged administrator

    As you have installed SyncToy until you have created the required permissions, uninstall SyncToy, reboot, then reinstall SyncToy.
