• 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 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.

• Windows Photo Viewer cannot open this picture because you don't have the appropriate permissions to access the location of the file. »

  Separated from this thread.

  I have the same problem when I try to access some of my photos through any method (File Explorer, IE, Windows Photo Viewer, etc.).  When I try to display the image, I get an error message that says "Windows Photo Viewer cannot open this picture because you don't have the appropriate permissions to access the location of the file."  A few photos in the folder open very well.

  The photos are stored on the hard drive of PC in the pictures folder.  Not all pictures are affected - some I can always access.  I tried to run your AutoCorrect tool - it has not fixed the problem.  I tried to add "everyone" by your above statement and he could not solve the problem.  While it was updating the permissions for everyone, it displays the following error message: "unable to enumerate the objects in the container.  Access is denied. »

• 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 cannot open this photo because either way, Photo Viewer does not support this file format, either you do not have the latest updates to Photo Viewer

  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.

• Windows Photo Viewer cannot open this picture because you don't have permission to access the location of the file

  I reinstalled my computer using the same disk of win7 recovery for sale.

  But I found files in the folder (windows.old) could not open, even the files could be moved to a new place.

  I could review the authorization of certain files, but several folders could not be revised approval, which include many files of images or movie files.

  I want to know how to solve the problem (you might consider the photos and movies could be challenged).

  Thank you!

  See the article depending on how appropriate the folder:

• Windows Photo Viewer cannot open this photo because Photo Viewer does ' t support this file format, or you do not have the latest updates to Photo Viewer

  Others have had problems similar to mine and I read all the posts but nothing seems to solve my problem.

  I saved a bunch of pictures in a folder on an external flash drive that were originally attachments in e-mail messages. They run very well on the disc and I opened and one closed the reader a couple of times but now I can't seem to open it in the viewer of photos or any other viewers. I have other pictures on the same drive in other folders and they open without any problems.

  The first time it happened I display thumbnails but could not open them. I just insterted my flash drive to see what was going on, and now I can see only 3 thumbnails on a total of about 50 photos. A lot of disk space too.

  Any suggestions anyone. Thanks a lot if you can try to help him.

  Hello pentax12,

  It should not make difference if the folder has been shared or not to see the photos.
  I suggest you see if you can copy them to the hard drive and then try to open in the Gallery of photos or a different default viewer.

  Let us know.

  Thank 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.

  You have great people skills. Keep it up.

  Have a nice day and thanks again for your help.

• Problems with the Windows on Windows 7 Photo Viewer, cannot open the picture

  Good evening!

  I can't open a few photos that I downloaded from my digital camera's SD card.  They are all in the same folder, and they are all JPEG.  Some of them are open very well, but there are MANY who are not open and I get the message: 'Windows Photo Viewer cannot open this photo because Photo Viewer does not support this file format, or you do not have the latest updates for Photo Viewer. "  As I said, they are all JPEG, as well as the Windows Photo Viewer is already set as my default Photo Viewer.   When I opened the window of the picture viewer I have not been invited for updates.

  I don't understand why some of my photos to shoot to the top of fine and the rest don't pull up at all.   Where will ensure that I have the latest update?  You have any other suggestions?

  Thank you in advance for your help!

  Looks like there are probably good copies elsewhere then... I was worried, you might well have lost some of your photos, and it is always better to access the card and copy and paste the files (and then check that they are ok) before using the software download and the removal from the Board. If the files have been corrupted somehow during the transfer process, they can still be recoverable in respect of the SD card using something like the free version of "recuva" providing that the SD card has not been re-used and previous files overwritten by new material. However, if your sister still photos as well which should not be necessary.

  I don't think this is likely to be a problem with the photo viewer, but let us know when you received that email... all the best - Ric.

• After Reinstalling windows 7 stopped opening PSD files.

  After Reinstalling windows 7 has stopped opening some files PSD files. I try to open them with Photoshop version 6, it does not work. I tried to open them on the laptop, same garbage. Tell me what is the problem. And how to fix it. Thank you.

  Maybe these files have been corrupted. I can't say how it happened, but it is quite possible. And the files are no longer open, immediately after reinstalling windows? Or not?

  If so, it is very rare in my opinion. You are very unlucky. Try to reinstall photoshop. Then check that these files have been opened or not. In the opposite case. Then the only solution is a special software. I would use this program http://www.photoshop.recoverytoolbox.com/ on your site

  (it is not free but is very good and is not expensive. But in the future you will be immune to such situations. )

• All my icons have been changed in the Windows Photo Viewer

  and everytime I open an icon it says that windows Photo Viewer cannot open it because I don't have the latest version of the photo viewer, I want just my icons back and open them the right program

  Looks like you may have a virus or other malware. Get your updated antivirus program and boot into Safe Mode. Note that some viruses can hide from your normal antivirus program, so you really need to scan in Safe Mode. To enter in Safe Mode when you turn on first, press F8 on every seconds until you get the menu, and then select Safe Mode. Then run a complete system scan.

  If that suits him fine. If this is not the case, use system restore to go back to an earlier date at the beginning of the problem. To run system restore, click Start-> programs-> Accessories-> System Tools-> system restore. Click on the box that says show more restore points.

  -

  You can check the corrupted system files. Open an administrator command prompt and run SFC if the above does not help. Click START, and then type CMD in the search box, right-click on CMD. EXE and click run as administrator. Then, from the command prompt type sfc/scannow.

  -

  Finally if all else fails, you can look at the rather cryptic system event log. To do that click on start-> Control Panel-> administration-> event viewer tools. Once in Event Viewer system log-click and scroll entries looking for these "error" with indicator see if you can find guidance on where the problem may be.

  `

  When you get your system in good working condition, I invite you to back up your system up to an external hard drive and make it regular periodic updates.

  I hope this helps. Good luck.
