Windows XP and all of a sudden cannot open all the images. Windows photo and Fax view is gone?

I have a computer that suddenly can not open images.  The operating system is XP.  I can't find Windows Picture and Fax Viewer.  Please suggest how I can open pictures or reinstall the Viewer.  Thank you.  LaDonna

Windows XP... to force a reinstallation of Windows Picture and Fax viewer:

Go to start / run... and type or copy / paste the following command:

regsvr32 /i shimgvw.dll

(Yes, the space after the 2 and space after that the i is necessary)

Press on... Come in...

You should see a dialog box stating:
DllRegisterServer and DllInstall in successful shimgvw.dll

  • My browser suddenly always opens on the page it is on when it was last closed and use the tabs even if I turned them off. I tried to reinstall.

    I have my browser open comcast.net Web page and never use tabs. I use firefox for years and am very familiar with it. He suddenly started opening on the last page, he was away when closed and began to use tabs. When I remove Firefox from my computer, he still all my settings. I had this problem once before years and finishes having to delete my entire drive to fix. I would avoid a wipe away this time. I need to know how to get ALL of the browsers install deleted registry information, so I can get a really fresh. And Yes, I have tried all the normal channels and I'm pretty computer savvy. Please help before I go nuts. I use the version the most recent, but that goes back to the old versions didn't help either. Thank you.

    Software sometimes external will create or update an optional parameters file named user.js. For some reason, one of the things that often turns in there is a preference to restore your previous session at once. However, because Firefox uses user.js to override your normal parameters, whenever it starts, which then turns into a permanent change.

    More contact information system (next to your message) shows that you have a user.js file. To check what are the benefits and/or remove, try this technical support article: How to fix preferences that will not save.

    Note that by default, Windows hides your search Firefox profile folder and facilitate navigation in Windows Explorer. You can access the folder from inside using Firefox

    • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > troubleshooting information
    • (menu bar) Help > troubleshooting information
    • type or paste everything: in the address bar and press Enter

  • Windows Picture and Fax Viewer seen only by Crescent and descending file name. I want to do more...

    Hello.  I use Windows XP service pack 3

    When I reformatted the computer earlier (before I updated my service packs and all), I could go in my windows Explorer, I could see all my photos by file name, updated and the date of creation (both increasing and decreasing) with windows fax and picture viewer.

    Now (after installing the latest service packs), when I find my pictures with Windows Explorer, I can sort the photos by what I mentioned above, but windows fax and picture viewer will only see in photos by file name (ascending or descending order), it will not display the photos in order by size, date of creation or update.  Even if the order has changed viewably on explore, I can't see the pictures created or modified or size of the order (order asc & desc).

    I clicked on the update column, with the arrow going down on the selected column, and also once again, if the arrow is pointing upward.  Then I went to double click on the first picture in the amended order, and after I saw the first picture, I clicked on WP & F viewer (or use the arrow keys on my keyboard) the arrow to view the next photo in the changed order and the next picture that appears is in order of file name!

    Now, I want to be able to switch between the use of all columns or sorting:

    ~ file name (order asc & desc)

    as well as

    ~ modification/creation date (also in order asc & desc)

    or

    Size (order asc & desc)

    is there a way to fix this without having to download new programs to view my photos?  Or having to rename one of the file names?

    I don't think that it has nothing to do with the dates of my photos.  They have all of the appropriate dates stamped on.  And rename one of them to a single specific command won't help.

    I really enjoy using windows greatly fax and photo viewer.  I don't want to replace it.  I just want to see my photos in order, I want to see them with windows fax and picture viewer.  And I would be very happy to help on fixing this problem.

    I thank you for your time, and hope you're answers coming soon.

    I restored my computer twice, and I don't know when it started to happen to me, but today I started thinking, ' it did not use to jump around like that. " I am looking for an answer now.

    Edit: Hey, I think I've found a fix for this problem!

    First of all, I tried this http://www.windowskb.com/Uwe/Forum.aspx/windowsxp/162211/Picture-and-Fax-Viewer-displays-images-out-of-ordersite, but the solution did not work for me. Then I found this site http://www.compu-help.us/157.htm, and the first suggestion seems to have solved the problem. My images now show in the order. (Summary: a patch for the computer messed up Windows and Fax Viewer.) To correct, click Start and then run. In the run box, type: regsvr32 shimgvw.dll)

  • Impossible to edit photos using Windows Picture and Fax viewer

    In the past I could modify the pitchers in the Windows Picture and Fax Viewer, but no more...?

    On the computer I'm on right now I have a XP Pro. I use to be able to crop and change the lighting and the red with the Viewer windows pitcher. I bounced around different OS so I'm not shore if its because its older operating system or if Im so after to have and do. On my XP when I open 'photo and faxes Windows' I can't do it all. If I want to go to paint cultures. And I can't fix red eyes or anything. What is the due to different OS or what? :(

    Windows Picture and Fax Viewer does not have

    The painting is the editor by default when you click on edit it

  • lost all the images contained in the "my pictures" file on the hard disk while using Windows Live Photo Gallery

    I lost all the images contained in the "my pictures" file on the hard drive.  The files are there but when I open the files they are all empty. It's like some 50 folders and each folder contained about 25 or so images jpg. I lost the using the "windows live photo gallery» I found a thread that someone else has had this problem and only one answer was to check the checkbox 'Show hidden files'. I have done this no luck there. When I open "windows live photo gallery" all records are on the left of the window but empty. I did not send any of these files to the "trash".  Can someone tell me how to recover these?

    You ran the scanner of MS too? It will take some time, but it must be done. If a virus is responsible for it must be nuked before he can ravage any more.

    Send all the pictures? You can still recover these - and get some help course in order to avoid this sort of thing. External hard drives and online storage are worth a small spending to protect valuable files. I also keep the dvd - outdated image files but enough fix if even they can deteriorate over time (but don't we all!)

    Let us know if the scan MS lands anything - run the full scan - it will take time.

    Hi Tanuj.

    I actually understand it. Not the best user friendly system. Where as before (CS5), I just had to go to crop tool and choose the dimensions and the inches now it in the window. Just really complicated for nothing.

    Thanks anyway Tanuj

  • Script to remove all the images, text blocks, and the page numbers on a layer

    I have a 364 pages with 322 illustrations, photographs mainly, for offset printing.

    The photographs will be be overprinted with the varnish on a plate in the fifth, and I set it up as follows:

    On a new layer, (double layer 1) all photos are removed, but not their mounts.

    The frames are then filled with 100% black.

    All text blocks and page numbers must also be deleted.

    I realize I could have done this job easier if I put all the images on their own layer first, but unfortunately I do not have.

    And I don't do myself, script, so I was wondering if anyone has a script that will do...

    With the help of CC 2015.1 on Windows 7.

    Today, I don't have time to finish, which gave time to until now is the following:
