Opening Files With Adobe Photoshop And Preview Using Photo Viewer?
Sep 11, 2011
Until recently my computer would open image files with Adobe Photoshop and Preview them using Windows Photo Viewer. This is the way it has worked in Windows 7 as long as I have been using it. This worked great because Photo Viewer open almost instantly and Photoshop takes forever! About a week ago, probably after some Windows updates, it started "Opening" everything in Photo Viewer instead of Photoshop.
I changed the default program back to Photoshop, I had to do this with every image format, from BMP to TIf one at a time, but I got it so when I want to open an image, to edit, it comes up in Photoshop. The problem is that it now does the same thing with anything I want to preview! I work with images all day long. So my question is how do I get it to respond to the "Preview" command with Picture Viewer without changing the default action for "Open"? I've looked and I can't find any place that lets you change this setting.

Something happened. Many of my icons do not work any more. I thing I have tracked it down to XPS Viewer. I get the following message:
"Windows Photo Viewer can't open this picture because either this photo viewer doesn't support this file format or you don't have the latest update to Photo Viewer."
The problem came out of nowhere but.. I was working with pictures and might have deleted something on the lower task bar. Adobe has disappeared too. Was going to try to update it but it is no longer on my desktop????

Running Win7 Ultimate 64Bit.I recently installed adobe photoshop cs6. When viewing .jpg files in explorer they are associated with windows photoviewer.If I right click on a .jpg file and go to open with, the CS6 executable does not appear, so I select "choose default program", "browse", make sure "always use the selected program to open this type of file" checkbox is checked, go to the .exe file for CS6, select it, and it takes me back to the "Open With" window but does not allow me to select the OK button to make the association. It's like I never chose an .exe to open the file with.

Is there any photo editing software comparable to the old Adobe PhotoDeluxe. I have tried Gimp, Picasso and paid for other versions of Adobe. None are as user friendly and have the editing tools that PhotoDeluxe had.

Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended crashes every time I quit out of it, and I don't know why. It's pretty annoying especially when it was fine closing a few days back.

Alright, so I recently got Photoshop CS4 using Windows Vista, but I just want to try the Windows & Ultimate so i format may laptop change my OS to Windows 7. Not sure why, but I got the screen to accept or decline the user end license agreement, when I clicked to accept it, it just went away and nothing happened. So I uninstalled it, and tried reinstalling it, now every time I try, it gets right to the end, where it's installing Adobe Bridge CS4 and it comes up with an error saying it had problems installing photoshop CS4 and then asks me if I want to continue with the installation, I click continue, and it finishes, but I get an error message at the end again. When I click more information I get this:
Adobe Photoshop CS4 Error: Error 1603. Fatal error during installation.
Adobe Photoshop CS4 Error: Error 1603. Fatal error during installation.
Adobe Bridge CS4 Error: Error 1603. Fatal error during installation.
Adobe Device Central CS4 Error: Error 1603. Fatal error during installation.

I am trying to open ANY image with Windows Photo Viewer. When I open the image, it just shows "loading..." and nothing comes up. Now, I can open with and choose a different program, like MS paint (or any other graphics program) and can see the image just fine. Its just with Windows Photo Viewer! I did a lot of research on this. Some people were saying to do a mfc /scannow, some said updating drivers. I did everything I have read and nothing worked. Other people had the same problem, and all they did was switch to another program. I don't want to do that. Everyone else, and I mean EVERYONE ELSE who I had the problem, has the same brand name video card - ATI Radeon! No idea what to do next. I downloaded the latest drivers from the ATI website.

All of the sudden, I cannot view any (and I've tried many) images using Windows Photo Viewer. When I double click on an image, Photo Viewer pops up with the following message:"Windows Photo Viewer can't display this picture because there might not be enough memory available on your computer. Close some programs that you aren't using or free some hard disk space (if it's almost full), and then try again."First off, I have never been even close to low on ram or disk space at any point I have tried to view an image, and in the past I could be running SolidWorks with huge assemblies open, and I could have large images open in viewer without a problem. (is this really just more of a bug?) I saw some "solutions" regarding settings in color management, but none of them worked. The only other thing that might be relevant is, I do frequently plug the HDMI output into my TV, during which it switches to just a solo monitor output to the TV. I still get the same error when using the TV though.And in case it matters, I'm running 64 bit Windows 7 on a Samsung RC512 with 6G of ram and a NVIDIA GeForce GT 525M.

Everytime I drag a new window of Windows Photo Viewer to my second monitor it freezes for a split second. It doesn't freeze completely, just as the window begins to enter the second monitor. After that, everything works fine. I use to be able to drag it over without any problem.

I recently bought a new computer with Windows 7. I am used to XP's picture and fax viewer where when you are viewing a photo and click on a new one, it opens in the same window.With Windows 7 Photo Viewer, everytime you click to a new photo it opens a new window, even if you click the same photo. Before I know it I have 20 photo viewers open.I can't find a preference to always open the next photo in the same window. I found the same question posted elsewhere on the web but nobody had an answer.

Is there a freeware program that will display photos in the size that Windows displays them when displaying them with the Screen Saver?
Windows Photo Viewer does not display them as large as Screen Saver does.
I have Screen Saver set to centered so it is not increasing the size, Screen Saver just displays them a lot larger than the default Photo Viewer does.

So I was just messing around looking at photos when I maximized Windows Photo Viewer and got a really weird graphical glitch at the bottom that I've never seen before. All of the buttons are invisible but then reappear once I hover over them.[URL]That second image shows what happens after I have hovered over the buttons. Doesn't seem to be affecting anything else?

I've got a problem with colour representation in Windows 7 Photo Viewer, but only when I view the images in the Slideshow. When I double click and open them normally within Photo Viewer they are fine, but if I open the Slideshow and allow it to run through all the images (JPEGs) in the folder, they display with a desaturated cast to them - quite different to how they appear when not opened in the SlideshowI've read all about the Samsung yellow colour fix etc, but I've tried that fix and nothing changed. And that fix doesn't specifically affect just the Slideshow, as I understand it

Where is windows photo viewer (the application .exe file) located by default on windows 7 64 bit? I am trying to set it as the default program to open certain picture files because an essential program I run needs those specific file associations to be made or it will not work. But every time I try to set windows photo viewer as the default program, windows asks me to browse for the application, and it is nowhere to be found on the computer (although I know it is installed and runs perfectly fine). I have tried preforming searches within the computer and just cant find the .exe file I need.

I do a great deal of video editing and special effects on my Windows 7 (home premium, 64bit) laptop. Many of the stock footage clips I use are .mov files and a lot of the sound files I use are .wav and .mp3. Unfortunately, these files do not preview (They don't play) in the preview pane in Windows Explorer. .mp4 videos do preview, but I have not tested anything else. All of the above mention files play just fine in the standalone WMP. Do I need to download extra codecs to make them work in the preview pane?

I have encountered a strange problem today: when I want to see an image with the Windows Photo Viewer - which is the default application for this purpose - it opens on the secondary monitor. It works fine while there, but any attempt to move the window to the primary monitor results in a crash with the message "COM Surrogate has stopped working". Here are the problem details from that error message:[CODE]

My boss has an Epson P-7000 digital photo viewer. The other day, after he had taken the pictures off of it, he formatted it. I guess he thought that he was formatting the SD card, but he ended up formatting the unit instead. Now, when you turn it on, you get an error message that says "Invalid File System, please power off the device".I figured that the best way to fix this was to update the firmware. However, it won't let me get that far.

I've tried the Photo viewer in Windows 7 and it is not a patch on the old XP photo viewer in the ease of being able to print multiple photos.In the XP you could click on any thumb nail and then Print.This then brought up all your thumbnails and you could make a multiple selection by ticking the wanted thumbnails.This is not possible in Windows. In order to print multiple prints of thumbnails you have to rename the thumbnails so they are in order in the file. Then you highlight them, right click for Print and then select the amount of prints per page.This adds several unnecessary actions while prolonging of the whole opeation by minutes. have tried other viewers which may , or may not, be better for editing or
