Windows Photo Viewer attempts to open all my files.

I bought a new computer with Windows 7. I put the pictures on it and now all icons turned into pictures and windows photo viewer tries to open all my files. Nothing works!  Help! How can I get rid of this? Is it possible to uninstall the viewer photos and re install? I use my old computer again, but want to use a new. I can't open all the files on it. I already deleted the photos I put on that, but it does not solve the problem.

Thank you

  • 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.

    Hello

    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.

  • Windows Photo Viewer cannot open *.tif files

    Hi Windows Photo Viewer don't open no * tif files on computers Dell desktop running Windows Pro 8.1 and Windows 7 Professional.

    Do not use a drive.

    Tried system restore, but does not solve the problem.

    Windows posted a temporary fix (https://support.microsoft.com/en-sg/kb/2635500), but recommended "If you are not severely affected by this problem, we recommend you wait for the next software update, which will include this fix."

    Windows finally gets out the permanent fix for users?  Still waiting.

    The patch in KB2635500 appears directed at problems with files TIF MultiPage (usually of the faxes).  Do you do business with?  You get the error message that is mentioned in the article?

    If this isn't the case, what exactly happens when you try to open a single TIF file (non-multi-site)?  Is it just does not open or you get an error message?  If the latter, what is the full text of the error message?

    It is possible that the Windows System File Checker can solve this problem.  Open an elevated command prompt (right click > run as administrator) and enter the command:

    sfc/scannow

    See https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/929833

    Or you could abandon the Windows Photo Viewer and use the much more versatile application free IrfanView: http://www.irfanview.com/

  • 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.

  • Problems to tiff in the Windows Photo Viewer files

    I'm having a problem with a multi-page tif 1 MB file in Windows 7 with the Windows Photo Viewer, but can open the file on any of our workstations Windows XP with Windows Picture and Fax Viewer. The error I get is:

    "Windows Photo Viewer cannot open the image because the file seems corrupted, altered, or is too large."

    I installed the Windows TIFF IFilter, and we can get a preview of this same tif file in Outlook 2007 on Windows 7 computers. Just can't understand why Windows XP is not a problem but because of Windows 7.

    Thank you.

  • Microsoft should update Windows Media Player to play all kinds of videos and upgrade the Windows Photo Viewer to open all types of photos

    Original title: microsoft should spend there windows media player that can play any type of vedio.it will traditionally use media player to download other players instead.

    Microsoft should there be upgraded windows media player that can play any type of vedio.it will traditionally use media player to download other players instead. and also upgrad windows photo viewer to open all types of photos...

    The latest version of Windows Media Player that could open almost any multimedia file was version 6.4. Starting from this version, Microsoft have not been allowed to allow WMP to play almost any type of media file, and they were taken to court top.

    That's why Microsoft does not now permit. Apparently, the decisions of the Court are there to give other media players, including Apple stuff, a foothold in the market. I don't think Microsoft 3rd party codecs use same lawyer in case they have trouble.

  • Windows Photo Viewer stopped opening PNG files

    Using Windows 7, 64 bit. Windows Photo Viewer no longer displays one. PNG file. He has always worked in the past. I get the error message

    Windows Photo Viewer cannot open this picture because the file seems corrupted, altered, or is too large.

    A similar message is obtained from Windows Live Photo Gallery

    Microsoft Picture Manager is OK, like paint, Irfanview, Picasa and many other programs.

    I've updated MS .NET to 4.5 as suggested in another post.

    This also affects the ability of the Explorer to display thumbnails when the photo viewer is the default program for PNG.

    Your system ceased to display PNG files after Microsoft Update KB2670838 was delivered to your computer through Windows updates in late February 2013.

    Software developers cannot possibly predict all future updates that Microsoft will make to its operating system or applications. Do us, however, solve the problems when they occur and publish updates as necessary.

    A more reasonable notice might suggest looking for an update of the FastPictureViewer Codec Pack instead of pointing the finger and recommending other users to uninstall our product that if it turns out, was not directly responsible for the issue.

    You also do not mention that uninstall the FastPictureViewer Codec Pack - while setting the PNG issue you know - also disabled Explorer thumbnails and previews of the Windows for Adobe PSD, EPS Photo Viewer, I and the other 40 formats support us.

    The compatibility problem that resulted from the installation of KB2670838 was identified and corrected since, as well as another problem of compatibility that is revealed only after the release of Microsoft Office 2013.

  • Windows Photo Viewer cannot open this file because the file seems to be corrupted, damaged or too big.

    I am on Windows 7 and using Photo Viewer to watch 5 tiff files. I can open all tiff files in photoshop or psp, but not in photoviewer. Here, I can open only 2 smaller files. Is there a limit of size on the photo viewer (it seems). The files that I can not open are 1.45

    Hello
     
    a. like you said that the size of file that 1.45, could you give the exact size in MB, GB or KB?
    b. Since the photoviewer is used to display basic tiff files, if the file contains additional metadata information that can not be played on photoviewer it could give you the error message.
    1 copy these pictures on another computer in Windows 7 and check if the files open.
    2. you can also try to change the file format and check if it converts in this format and it opens correctly.
    You can see the following article on changing the file format.
    I hope this helps.
