Can't Open Any Pictures

Nov 1, 2012

I've got an odd problem on my windows 7 desktop. I noticed 2 days ago that the profile picture on the login screen was missing, I honestly didn't think much of it.

Last night I went to open a jpg that was on my desktop and received an error that stated:

"windows photo viewer can't open this picture because the file appears to be damaged or corrupted or too large" I checked a few other pictures with various extensions (bmps,pngs) and they ALL give me the same error.

I tried opening the pictures with gimp and paint, no good. I even sent a jpg to my gmail to test if it was some really odd and random issue with my system. Gmail just gives me a red x when I go to view the attached picture.

I find it very hard to beleive that every single picture on my system has magically been corrupted over night. I've tried researching this issue on my own and to be honest, I'm just not really getting anywhere. The system seems to be stable otherwise.

Why Can't Open Pictures Directly For A Camera

Jan 9, 2012

When opening pictures from a camera, I get that blasted viewer thing - it is impossible to make it use a photo program, until I copy the picture to the hard disk. Surely the camera is simply a USB memory stick when plugged in?

Imported Pictures Using Picasa 3 - The Pictures Became Grey Boxes?

May 23, 2011

I imported my photos from my SDCard to my PC using Picasa 3, and everything was going smoothly... until I tried to take a look at the photos! all of the photos that I've imported using this method for some reason all became greyed out! Viewing them on Picasa3, all you can see is a grey rectangle, in place of the photos. However, when using the windows explorer folder, i can see that the photos were imported correctly (it's not just a grey box, but the actual photos), but when I try to open it (using any program: Paint, Picasa3, etc), it is still a grey rectangle instead of the photos. I tried to upload the image and send it via email, and I get the same result.In my mistake, I chose to "delete the uploaded photos after uploading" option..it's my vacation photos from Croatia I'm not sure if there were any errors when I imported it... i stepped out for a bit while I was waiting for it to import. I looked around my SD card, and looked at the "Lost.dir" folder, and copied all of what's in there.I did use Glarysoft to recover the images, and I'm using a Windows 7 laptop as my computer. Also, are there other alternatives? I did save the lost.dir with all of the photo files in it, both in my SD Card, and on my laptop.

Delete Either "My Pictures" Or "Pictures" Folder In Windows 7?

Jan 1, 2012

The frustration has been for more than 2 years now. I tried to move the photo folders & files from "My Pictures" to "Pictures" but Window's geniouses did not give us that option. I do not need to click to "My Pictures" since they are ALL MY pictures. So are we stuck with this decision or is there a way which I can get rid of 1 of the folders? Same with "Documents" & "Videos".

Can't Open A Shared File On A Windows 7 Machine If It's Already Open On An XP?

Jan 23, 2012

I have a small network of six computers. Five of them run XP and I just added a Windows 7 machine. I've got a Microsoft Access 2003 database that all of the computers share that is hosted on one of the XP machines. The Windows 7 machine can access the Access database through the network just fine, as long as no one else is accessing it. However, if someone else on an XP machine on the network is using the file, it won't open on the Windows 7 machine. Doubling clicking the file on Windows 7 gives me the circling blue icon for a second or two, then nothing happens. If the XP user exits the database, then I can open it fine.

Saving Pictures From The Web?

Jun 22, 2011

I'm running Windows 7. When I "right click, save" pics from the web, they oftentimes show up as a flat colored line. In the folder they've been saved in, the thumbnail looks normal, but when you open it, it's a mess. Or the picture is compressed to the point it no longer resembles the original photo.

Can't Even Go Into Pictures And Set A Background

Nov 16, 2011

I recently did a system restore on my laptop... HP 625. Windows 7.Then I logged in as normal and I've somehow lost the Personalise option on the desktop drop down menu.I can't even go into pictures and set a background.Also, the Windows 7 theme has completely disappeared and it's changed to a windows classic theme? I had to do the system restore because it wouldn't log in, even though the password was correct.It interrupts with the internet speed and looks plain freaking ugly.

No Text Only Pictures?

Jul 28, 2011

I was having a problem on my laptop with Windows 7 not booting properly so I did a system restore of the windows files only using the Samsung software that came on the laptop. After that had completed, I can not see any text on web pages and even the Microsoft docs in office are messed up. I use Google Chrome for a browser and tried viewing web pages in IE but the same problem. I can not see any text in the dialog boxes either so to do a complete restore is next to impossible because I cannot read anything

Can I Name Pictures When Importing Like In XP ?

Dec 7, 2009

In XP, you could assign custom names to a group of photos when importing, but i can't seem to do that in 7. For instance i could tell it Name: "08.09.2009" and it would name each photo 08.09.2009 001, 08.09.2009 002, etc... Why would they make it so you can only label your photos a few ways. Any way to edit a system file to have more options show up?
