seperated to own thread from - Windows Photo Viewer is insanely SLOW!Ok old thread but hey at least I search! I have the same problem, picture viewer is insanley slow. I followed these steps but under my default profiles there are none to "remove". I use a Nvidia 9800gt video card if that has anything to do with it. Whats weird in my problem it seems to be only the photos I've been scanning from my printer that open slow. I'm doing them at max quality and they're bigger files...about 600mb some of them. Maybe being that big it wouldn't matter what viewer I use. Smaller files open up nice and fast though.
if i replace the shimgvw.dll in Windows 7 with shimgvw.dll from Windows Xp Will i get picture & fax viewer instead of photo viewer? or how would i go about installing the Xp One and removing the Win7 one
My old laptop with XP had a picture viewer that when i looked at my pics (mostly holiday snaps) in the slide show mode the picture filled the screen. Now on my new laptop with windows 7 the slide show plays at a smaller size with big black bands down each side? When i click on fill screen with previews up all the individual pics do fill screen but as soon as a start slide show the play back at smaller size. Is there a setting or something i cant find?
I am having great problems with my laptop which is running Windows 7 (I am using my desktop to post this). I was saving photos with star ratings in a folder and deleting ones which I didn't want. Suddenly I was told I didn't have the authority to delete the photos (I am the only user and also the administrator) but I clicked to continue and the photos were deleted. Later I wanted to view the other photos and found that access was denied because I didn't have the right permissions to open the files in Windows Picture Viewer. I then found I couldn't open any of my photos in any folders. I don't know how to reset my administrator permissions.On closing down the laptop I was told "settings.ini is being used by another process. Close the other program and click retry". There is no other program open. I rebooted and tried to use system restore but it failed as it "could not access a file".It suggested I disable my antivirus and start again. I tried this but all I got was "Unspecified error during system restore, error 0x80070005"I don't know what to do next. Why can't I see my photos, and what on earth can I do about my settings.ini?In case it is relevant, I wanted to check out Windows Media Center to see if it could help but it keeps crashing. Also, to complicate matters, I was using the laptop offline but I normally have Poptray checking online to see if I have any emails and when I closed down after the reboot I got the message "cannot create file CProgram FilesPop TrayPop Tray.ini".
The absence of program windows 7 picture and fax viewer why? I hope these is Microsoft's solution for lack of a moving picture format On Windows 7 Home and Windows 7 ultimate.
So from my work computer, we scan documents in as .tif documents, some can be up to 100 pages. When I open it to print, it opens in the picture viewing screen. It won't let me print just 1 page, say page 36 out of 91... I don't want to print all 91 pages just page 36.
I just reformatted my C: partition running windows 7.All my data is on the D: partition.I took ownership of all the files in D: Their is one folder I still don't have permission to open the files inside which are graphics for a website I am creating..The error message I get is "Windows photo viewer can't open this picture because you don't have the correct permissions to access this file location".so I ran the command prompt as administrator located the folder in question are ran "takeown /R /D Y /F *"It has given me full control of the files and made me the owner but still the error message comes up.
Is there no way I can put Windows Picture & Fax Viewer on to Windows 7? Because in Windows Photo Viewer I cannot manually move pictures within the folder!
I have just built a new machine i5 4gb 2 x 3tb WD ASUS p8z68 motherboard.. System works beautifully.. very nice. However, I have just installed a clean activated real copy of windows 7 home premium and when I enter the menus of Media Center. Pictures, Videos the blue "thinking" ring scrolls for 10 seconds and then enters the next menu with the Folder being displayed. In the music section, I have 2 test folders in there and it waits for 8 seconds after you press play a song! Recorded tv and guide work great. Indexing was also completed.
I used to have folders with a display of pictures on the front. Now I have plain folders, when opened, they have an icon to click and the a large picture shows up. I would like to open the folder and see the thumbprints immediately. Toshiba Satellite running Win 7.
I realize that it takes 8-10 seconds to open up a picture when i want to click on it to view it. I do not have such problem with Vista and Window XP. Is this a new problem??
I left my PC in the company of someone who might have done some meddling. It is configured to require the password upon re-opening it, but it is my understanding this can be by-passed. And, if true, knowing the time this would have occurred, can I use the Event Viewer to determine what actions might have been performed? Or is there a simpler method?
it says that in order to clear events, go to the Action menu and click 'Clear'. I have already saved everything in an external file but in the Action menu there is no option to clear.
Using Event Viewer/Applications I was getting 5 error events each day. This had to do with a "search" for a file on an external HD. I have just formated the HD and now I get "Warnings" about the the same files. The HD is now blank.
i've just installed a fresh OS, Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit and i have a error message when i reboot or turn off my PC. The error appears then disappears so quick i can't read it. Then in Event Viewer i have couple of Error ID 10, and i think that's the error message i get on rebooting/shut down, my PC.
I am having a problem with my windows photo viewer on my computer. When I try to rotate a picture it tells me that it cannot save the picture because of an unknown error. I've tried looking for a solution on the internet but I haven't had any luck. I was wondering if anyone has had a similar problem and could help me
im trying to save jpg's from this one site and it wont save the image. when i click the jpg it just says...
"windows photo viewer cant open this picture because either photo viewer doesnt support this file format or you dont have the latest updates to photo viewer."ive saved pics off this site many times before and never had any problems and this is the only site that i have this problem with so im thinking that i need to update photo viewer.
I'm looking for an alternative to the stock windows image viewer that has a good UI, the only one I found was Picasa but it doesn't have many features and I can't open more than one picture at the same time.
Is there a way to delete some or all the entries in Event Viewer / Custom Views / Administrative Events?This things logs a bunch of stuff for Acobat and Spybot and for my 3ware SATA controller card. I do not need all this garbage piling up and was just wondering if there is a way to clean it out once in awhile.I looked and can not see away to do it.
I vaguely understand what the Event Viewer is but I do not have the slightest clue as to what the "events" mean. First I open event viewer then I click Administrative Events and it says that 199 events were found. Most of them are warnings but quite a few are errors. The warning that constantly showing up the most is Gigabit Network Connection Network link is disconnected. Another Warning that has popped up 4 times in a row was Request to physical disk 0 has timed out. The most recent error said that the application specific permission settings do not grant Local Launch permission for the COM server application with the CLSID. What does this all mean and should I be worrying?! I am so unbelievably concerned and confused as this has been my first computer build and I know little on the subject
I haven't used Event Viewer before and I'm not sure how to interpret events. All I want is to establish whether a PC was a) on and b) in use between 00:00 and 03:30 on a particular day. What is the easiest way to go about that?
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.
