Windows Photo Viewer does not not and open pictures
I did a clean install of Windows 7 64 bit last week. I had Win XP and started all over with Win 7. I installed everything on my PC and everything seems to work except the photo viewer. I can't open, and it is defined as the default value for all the photos. When I opened a photo, I'd get a COM surrogate error and another window on this error asking if I'd like to send information to Microsoft. I clicked Yes and all the errors disappeared. Now when I open a photo I can see the thinking of system and then nothing happens. I tried the following command to test / fix.
Used paint to create multiple documents of different types (jpg, bmp, png). None of these types is open in Photo Viewer.
All other PCs on Win 7 in my house can open the same photos very well so I know that they are not damaged. I have the shared disk that has pictures on it.
Run the SCF/scannow - this has not fixed the problem.
Installed to the Windows Photo Gallery - this has not fixed the problem.
I noticed that Windows error reports an APPCRASH whenever I try to open the photo viewer. There is also an Application error reports Windows error that says that there was an application error for dllhost.exe.
What should I do to fix this? Can I reinstall the photo viewer or do a repair system?

How have you changed to E:\ program files folder location?

Windows Photo Viewer does not work when photo is clicked on
When I click on the individual image in the folder, the first message received error is 'there was a problem starting D:\Program Files\Windows Photo Viewer\PhotoViewer.dll. The specified module could not be found.
Windows 7 is installed in C:\ and D:\had the old XP Professional which I've updated.
Slide show does not work either.
However, I can say 'Open with' and select the Windows Photo Viewer to view the photo. Photos of the record may be consulted by clicking on 'Next' and 'Previous', but not when you click on individually
Any help is appreciated.
Best,

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.
Press on the the window key + W.
In Search box type in default programs , and then press enter.
Click on Sand your default program.
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

New PC with Windows 7. Photos taken before the new PC either cannot be a spectator, or can be displayed but are in the right folder with the incorrect file names (e.g. cat photo is labeled as DOG)
In my case, when I plugged in my phone on my desk, it prompted me to update the software to communicate better with my phone. Immediately after completing the update was when I lost the ability to open images in Photo Viewer.
To solve the problem, I went to control panel, and then uninstall a program and then uninstalled the newest program associated with my phone. It was easy since I knew exactly when he started to act up. Some of you may need some trial and error to find the problem.
