No, I do not have a Windows Picture Viewer folder, which is very odd. It does show Windows Picture viewer as the default viewer. Nothing shows up in Event Viewer with warnings or errors. I tried to view the picture in safe mode, but safe mode does not allow viewing of jpgs, in safe mode, with Windows Picture Viewer! How stupid.
I tried checking task manager to close out of it, but can't even see Windows Security Essentials running.
My customer uses Windows Security Essentials, and there is not an option to close out of it. I guess its possible that it may be an Anti-virus program holding things up. You may not have to do that for the two files that will register, depending on where you prefer to enter the path. In the Admin Command Prompt Window, I changed directory to the Windows Photo Viewer folder. If something had changed or removed one of those entries, the program may not work correctly.Įdit: I just tried re-registering the 4. I suggest this because there are entries all over the registry concerning PhotoView. I am not that familiar with the command but others are. The link below tells you how, but post back with questions. You may want to wait for other input, but I would try re-registering those four. So, has anyone suggested re-registering any. It contains a ImagingDevices.exe file and 4. In the Program Files folder (x86) and normal, there is a Windows Photo Viewer folder. Maybe the driver for you video card, or some utility associated with it has altered the normal behavior. You might open the Default Programs, Set Associations and check some of the file associations and see if Windows PhotoViewer is listed or something else. Not sure why it would have trouble getting access. It also opens a file in the temp section of your AppData\Local folder. You might check the Event Viewer to see if any Errors or Warnings show up around the time you try to open a picture. Also, an Anti-virus will look at the file first. It checks for any "suppression" keys or open only in app keys, or only in Browser keys and permissions. Photoviewer looks at many things before it opens pictures. But since you have already done that and it found no problems, I suppose we will have to look somewhere else.
When I see Windows doing something out of the ordinary for a basic Windows utility, I suggest running the SFC /scannow utility.
