Windows 7 Photo Viewer displays a bad JPG image colors.

• 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!

  could you share your knowledge with me about it?

  Thanks in advance

  Hello

  I doubt that this question has something to do with the laptop.
  I guess that it s software (Win 7) related question or maybe it related to this folder special photo
  I think you should try different records with different picture and different file formats

• Windows 7 photo viewer hangs constantly

  Windows 7 photo viewer seems to have a bug that causes constantly crash with a message 'COM surrogate has stopped working ". I saw the other posts on this, but none that really addresses the problem in Photo Viewer, which is obviously a bug in Miscrosoft since this is a new computer with a new operating system of Windows Professional, and none of these problems has occurred in Windows Vista. Is nothing done about it?

  I have corrected it finally. I've updated the Intel HD Graphics driver 4000 a 2012 version to the latest version of 2013 that will install on Windows 7, and the problem disappeared.

• How to remove red-eye using Windows 7 Photo Viewer

  Help!

  How to remove red-eye using Windows 7 Photo Viewer

  Windows Photo Viewer, it's just what it says, a spectator only. But there is no editing capabilities.

  To edit a photo, you will need software such as Windows Live Photo Gallery or IrvanView (to name only a few).

• Photo Viewer seem to use the incorrect color profile.

  I created a color profile by using X-Rite color grading equipment.   All my programs on my PC Windows 7 display the colors correctly except the photo viewer that shows all the colors in the dark.

  For example in Photoshop or Microsoft Office Picture Manager, you can see the details in the shadows, but with the same photo in Photo Viewer, the shadows are so dark that they don't see all the details and all the colors seem much more dark and intense.

  I used to use windows XP and did not have this problem.   Color calibration equipment is new and I use the latest version of the X-rite software on my Samsung SyncMaster monitor.  I found this same problem on another computer in Windows 7 with another Samsung monitor, but I don't think that its really a Samsung problem because I can not find another program except Windows 7 photo viewer that has this problem.

  I want to continue to use the Windows Photo Viewer, because it is quick and easy and is well integrated into other windows functions.
  I think it would be a simple solution to tell the photo viewer to use the correct color profile or simply to increase the brightness in Photo Viewer, but I can't find where is the setting.

  Thanks for any help to solve this problem.

  Success! ICC v2 switch fixed it. Thanks Alexander_L and dphildphil

• Windows 7 photo viewer broken by the software update of Intel Corporation display published February 2012

  I tried the optional "Corporation - display - Intel (r) Intel's HD Graphics" offered by Windows Update.  The patch installed properly.  I also installed all the patches from Microsoft in the most recent update at the same time - my system is up to date with all patches from Microsoft for Windows 7.

  The Intel driver is identified as "Display Intel Corporation software update released in February 2012" with driverid = 20470193 (but doesn't link to winqual included).

  After I rebooted the system, I noticed that the Photo Viewer Windows 7 (Microsoft utility provided for the display of image files) was broken.  It would display usually several images, but after a few, trying to go to the next image would cause him to hang, with an error message and an error logged in the system log files.  The error logged has this information:

  The failed igdumd64.dll DLL is part of the Intel driver patch.

  I was able to revert to the version of the prior pilot with no problem using Device Manager (you cannot remove this hotfix with the usual methods to remove a patch provided by Windows Update, because it's a device driver).

  Once I have returned to the older version of the driver (with the old DLL) flaws with Photo Viewer problems went away.

  I don't use many intensive graphics applications, but I would not be surprised if this driver breaks things.

  I can't find any documentation on what, if any, problem known this updated driver is supposed to fix.  But he clearly presents problems that did not exist with the driver components, it replaced.

  I fully understand that driver development is a challenge, but this driver was clearly not enough tested if it succeeds in breaking simple things like photo viewer.

  The driver in question is provided by Intel and the same update available on their web site.  I could certainly follow your collective advice and completely uninstall the graphics driver (which unfortunately would my system using generic VGA graphics, completely ruin my desktop display) and then download the driver from the Intel web site, but I sincerely doubt that the outcome would be different.  Returning to the already installed driver seems to have "fixed" the problem with the update.  And I scored the driver Intel "fix" hidden in Windows Update, so that I won't be tempted to install again, since it's apparently a bad solution to a problem not specified.

  For what it's worth, the system in question is a HP Compaq 8200 "CMT", which has a motherboard Intel manufactured with integrated graphics Intel hi-def.  I don't have a graphics component snap.  Graphics drivers who settled on the system worked fine for my needs.

  Intel has released an updated version of this driver in February 2011, which, at that time, caused a wave of reports (many of them in this forum) driver Internet Explorer 9, in break with defects occurring all the same Intel supplied DLL. The driver that came with my system seems to have had this problem.

  If I was smart enough to understand how to report directly to the Intel they gave Microsoft a bad driver, I would, but as the component that is broken by the pilot part of a standard software for Windows 7 from Microsoft, I chose the problem here.  I'm sure that most of the Windows 7 users that could see a similar problem will seek a solution here, and for me, the solution was to return the driver (using the same procedures that were presented as the solution to the previous February 2011 broken Intel HD graphics driver "fix").

• 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.

• Windows Photo Viewer displays automatically when I plug iPod

  I have an iPod Touch 4 G and I really hate it when the Photo Viewer appears. I always have to press the windows key and tap on the app, I've been on (ex. Google Chrome). It is not a big problem but it is a very annoying problem.

  Hi Vince,.

  You can use autoplay to determine what happens when you connect a device to your PC. For example, set it so that each time that you connect a storage card, the opens the Photos app, and you select which photos and videos to import.

  You may need to disable multimedia transport of your camera before of the AutoPlay control can find it.

  (a) define the basic options: view the laptop settings, tap or PCs and devices, and then tap or click AutoPlay.

  (b) a set of advanced options: open the Control Panel, press or click hardware and sound, and then press or click on Autorun.

  For more information, seeHow to import pictures and videos from a camera, phone or DVD?

• Windows Vista Photo Gallery will not open .jpg on desktop but in a folder on the desktop - why?

  I use vista and if I put a .jpg on the desktop image I open it with any normal program 'open with', with the exception of the Windows Photo Gallery.

  If I create a folder on the desktop and then to move the image in the folder it opens very well as usual.  I logged as a different user on the same computer to test if this office was undergoing the same wierdness.  These are the works very well as it is supposed to.  Accordingly, I find that there are some bad configured "widget" on my main desktop of the user to open the image files automatically when they are on the desk.

  How to restore the default double click of the image so this Windows Photo Gallery it opens on the desktop?

  OK, I found the reason and the solution.  I want to thank myself to resolve this weird behavior of Vista

  the problem occurs because a URL (web link), you have on the desktop is too long.  something like a link to google maps for example or something else Street which is more then 64 characters is originally the Gallery windows to screw up.  Why these two files different, sitting on the desktop may be related, I don't know, but they are.

  find the link that is the author of the offence and delete or move elsewhere and out of your office and bingo!  your desktop image viewer works again.

  HOW TO FIX:
  I found the easy long url because there were only a few links on my desk so if you have a lot and you are not sure which one is, simply create a folder called 'junk url' and move all web links in this directory.  Now, you will see that your office is working again as it should so that you know that one of those that you moved is bad.  Now, to pull everyone out, one at a time on your desktop and keep stable your .jpg image to see if it considers the image.  One of these URLS will begin his shows do not and when you check the properties of this url, you will see that it is a super long address.  One who is bad - get rid of him and now your fixed.

• Win Windows 7 photo viewer will not open the .psf files

  Windows Photo Viewer does not open. PSF files from Epson?

  Programs can recognize only the files they are supposed to use.

  In the case of the Windows Photo Viewer, the official documentation says that it can display the following types of files (although you can add a little more by installing one or more codecs- LINK):

  Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG)	.jpg and .jpeg,
  Tagged Image File Format (TIFF)	. TIF and .tiff
  Portable Network Graphics (PNG)	.PNG
  Graphics Interchange Format (GIF)	.gif
  Bitmap image	.bmp and DIBs
  HD Photo	. WDP

  Do you really mean PSF files?  As far as I can tell, a PSF file is probably an Adobe Photoshop proof Settings file.

  If you mean PDF files - which are outputs to any scanner - you can view these last with the free Adobe Reader or Foxit Readerfree software, among others.

• Windows 7 photo viewer will not open images

  My laptop has just been reduced to factory settings and lost all my files, fortunately, most of them have been recovered by a technician and he burned them on a disc for me. There is a mixture of photos and documents, no open documents and only a few images opens with Photo Viewer, the rest goes to tell an error message "windows Photo Viewer cannot open this picture because a photo viewer does not support the file format or you do not have the latest updates for photo viewer." No idea how to solve this problem? Thank you.

  ======================================

  It is highly possible that files recovered
  were partially crushed. If the technology who have recovered
  files had success by viewing... maybe you
  could ask him what software he used.

  You can view the files in Windows Paint?

  If you have no success in the file display... the
  more info can be useful...

  There is software that can be able to
  Restore files. If you want to experiment...
  the following programs of detail may be worth a try.

  Good luck...

  The following programs are not free, but the demo
