Picture Viewer Crashes

Hello,
Here is the problem I've been having, I installed Quicktime, everything worked fine and I have Quicktime Picture Viewer as my default viewer (I miss my mac). I was able to use it for some time, then when it starts to open the window which asks me to upgrade to Quicktime pro it crashes. I've tried reinstalls and updates but to no avail. Then I reformatted my Hard Drive, and the same issue is happening. Any ideas?

Thanks, this got me to the answer. Specifically, checking for full permissions under my user name.
I am not sure if it was changing the permissions for QuickTime.qts, that did the trick, Because at the same time I also right-clicked on PictureViewer.exe, went to Properties and along with changing the permissions under the Security tab, I went to the Compatability tab and under Priviledge Level, I clicked on "Run this program as an administrator".  The only downside is I now get that annoying pop-up whenever I open the program saying "do you want to allow this program to make changes to your computer", but that is a minor inconvenience.
Thanks again for you help!

  • Thumbnail view crashing FCP -- Kona3 the problem?

    For larger projects, running bins in thumbnail view crashes FCP.
    Most of the time, I'm editing 6 to 8 min. stories for a news magazine format show. We shoot on Sony XDCAM, so usually 2 or 3 disks per project (roughly 44 mins of HD viddy per disk, with anywhere from 20 to 120 individual clips on the disk).
    However, for our documentaries (either 26 mins or 56mins) we shoot between 30 to 45 disks full of content. When importing the disks into FCP7, we use a bin per disc, translating into an average of 80 clips per bin. Whenever a project is this big, I can only open 3 or so bins in thumbnail view. After that, the system crashes. Even if I only keep one bin open at a time, by that fourth bin, the system crashes.
    We are using a KONA3 card configuration.
    Anyone else seen this?

    PROBLEM IDENTIFIED (NOT SOLVED):
    I've had this problem with thumbnail images crashing FCP after opening bins for over a year now and when going back using footage from old projects it happens more frequently. I can open 2-4 bins before it will crash FCP completely.
    TROUBLESHOOTING IN THE PAST:
    - Dumped Prefs
    - Re-installed FCP
    - Formatted & Re-installed EVERYTHING (OSX included)
    - Increased thumbnail cache size
    - Created new projects & bins, etc.
    CONCLUSION:
    None of the above troubleshooting strategies worked. Increasing the thumbnail cache size may appear to work a little but problem persists with little improvement.
    HOW I IDENTIFIED THE PROBLEM:
    Only recently have I been working with other formats aside from XDCAM. I've recently incorporated more ProRes files into my most recent project of T2i footage from the Canon DSLR camera. If I open a bin and display thumbnails of the ProRes video clips everything works without a problem. Loading thumbnail bins with the raw .mp4 files also works fine. Only loading XDCAM files will cause FCP to crash. The problem has nothing to do with the Kona card. If you read the posts carefully here and elsewhere you will see the common denominator is the XDCAM encoded video files being displayed as thumbnail icons.
    I am using XDCAM EX files at 1080p 30fps. To further isolate this problem as something having to do with the XDCAM files, another user posted on another thread:
    *"I am having similar issues with two separate projects. The only commonality between them is XDCam.*
    *To possibly isolate it I reinstalled FCP on one system, and installed latest Blackmagic driver on the the same. Both systems are up to date visa vi OS, FCP, and QT.*
    *Both still crash with the same regularity as described here."*
    Apple, this problem has persisted for more than two years and is a major problem. Just search the forums including this one. Any further upgrades of Final Cut Studio or OS X are worthless until this problem is fixed. A brand new body and interior won't fix a car with a broken engine. Please help!! Please solve this issue with the XDCAM footage in FCP!
    If anyone has any solutions or work arounds please notify me. I need it!

  • Images too bright in PSE, good in Windows Picture Viewer.

    Hi:
    My question is this, I shot some pictures of my son last weekend, in studio,
    with a Nikon D2X camera, and a softbox lightbank mounted on a Balcar
    flash head. I set the camera to RAW-JPEG Fine, ISO 100, and used a
    Minolta flashmeter to measure the light from the strobe. The reading was
    f/8 and 2/3. The images look good in the LCD camera display, but when
    I see them in my PC display, they look way too bright in Photoshop Elements 7.0,
    but they look fine in the Windows XP SP3 Picture Viewer.
    Why is this?. If I adjust the contrast and brightness in PSE, then they look too dark
    when I check them in Windows Picture Viewer...
    Also, the highlights look a little burned out in both, PSE and Windows Picture Viewer,
    but the problem looks more evident in PSE. This happens often when I shoot pictures
    using strobe lights.
    Can you help me with this two problems?.
    I have attached one of the pictures so you can take a look at it.
    Thanks.

    As to why the photo looks different in PSE than in Windows Picture And Fax Viewer, there are two possibilities:
    1. Your display may have a color profile associated with it, either because you calibrated it with a calibrator or a profile was installed by the disk that came with your display.  PSE is "color managed" and will adjust the colors of a photo based on the display's color profile, whereas Windows Picture And Fax Viewer will not.  If you want fine control over accurate display of colors on your display, you'll need to calibrate it if you haven't already, and you should then only use color-managed programs like PSE to view your photos.
    2. The photo you posted indicates that you've set your camera to use the Adobe RGB color space for JPEGs.  The Organizer has a bug and doesn't display the thumbnails (even large thumbnails) of such photos correctly.  The Organizer's Display > Full Screen (F11) and the Editor do display such photos correctly.  I'm not sure if this particular photo will trigger the bug, because of the way Nikon in particular stores color profiles in JPEGs.  You could see if you're getting hit by this bug by:
    a. Open the photo in the Editor.
    b. In the Organizer, make the photo's thumbnail as large as possible (not Full Screen view).
    c. Adjust the zoom of the photo in th Editor to be about as large as the one in the Organizer.
    d. Use Ctrl Tab to switch quickly between the two.  If you see differences, you're encountering the bug.

  • Gnome 3 log file viewer crashes on file open

    Hi everyone,
        I'm experiencing an annoying issue in which the system log file viewer crashes when I load certain log files.  For example, if I go to file>open>crond.log, the viewer will crash. The same occurs with errors.log, kernel.log, pm-suspend.log, and others on a somewhat inconsistent basis.   When I relaunch the program, crond.log (or any of the other files in question) is open and can be viewed without a problem. 
    After I initially set up the system, I ran into permissions problems when trying to open a number of log files.  I added my user to the "log" group and then had to manually chmod the /var/log/ directory to resolve those issues.   The crash seems to occur on the log files that were originally restricted.  It does appear that some of the log files are still in the "root" group as opposed to the "log" group.
    I'm running Arch 64-bit with Gnome 3.0 (native install, not upgrade).   Has anyone else experienced this problem?  I'm somewhat of a novice with permissions so perhaps that's to blame. Still, it doesn't seem like the viewer should crash but then be able to open the file.

    Ok, look at your files in Photoshop. What is the profile assigned to them? You can find this out by going to the Status bar at the bottom, clicking on the right-pointing triangle and choosing document Profile from the list.
    Then in Windows, go to your Control Panel > Color Management and add sRGB (if it isn't there) and select it as your default profile.
    I hope that will work.

  • Windows picture viewer fails Acrobat TIF to PDF conversion

    Hi. I have some users running Acrobat Pro 9 in batch mode to convert TIF to PDF and run OCRing tasks.  Some multi-page TIFs with large color pictures do not convert correctly, and some pieces are missing.  We think that Acrobat uses the default picture viewer as the imaging enging or whatever.  We have tried opening the images that fail to convert, using the Windows picture viewer, and the viewer fails to display all of the color image - so this does not appear to be an Acrobat problem, but a viewer problem.
    Is this a known problem; is there a workaround?  Otherwise can someone recommend an alternate image/TIF viewer that will work better for this process?
    THANKS!

    Have you tried changing the program that opens tif files by default to something else (like Photoshop or Paint) and rebooting?

  • PS icons show instead of photo thumbnails on Picture Viewer

    I've loaded CS3 on a new laptop---Windows 7.  CS3 Bridge and Photoshop work great, however the thumbnails show the PS icon instead of the photo in picture viewer.  I'm sure I'm missing a file or have one in the wrong location.  Any idea how to repair the problem?
    Thank you!  Randy Black

    Thanks for your speedy reply, Curt!  Just the RAW icons are showing up---the JPEG's are OK.  I do have ACR 4.6 loaded in the following location:
    Program files (X86)/common files/adobe/plug-ins/CS3/file formats.  The file is Camera Raw, Type 8BI.  I also checked in the "other" Adobe file to make sure I didn't have a duplicate of the RAW file there-looks OK.  Bridge works great-just showing the PS icon in the "Picture Viewer." 
    I've evidently accidently deleted a file today as I have been able to view RAW thumbnails until today.
    Thanks again!  Have a great week!

  • Content Viewer Crashes When Viewing Web Content

    Hi,
    I'm having issues with the folio Content Viewer crashing before web pages fully load  my hyperlinks. I need to proof the folio with the client before we can publish, so I need everything to be working and know that the final app will not have the same issue.
    I've set up buttons that link to coordinates on Google Maps. When a button link is clicked, the web viewer begins to load then immediately disappears (sliding to the bottom of the screen before the web content finishes loading) or crashes the Content Viewer completely.
    I searched the forums and did not really find any solutions, other than when using a lot of images, they need to be sized/sampled down to use less memory. My folio does have a few articles that use quite a few images, so I've sampled everything down to 72dpi and noticed a slight increase in loading speed when loading each article. At first I thought this fixed the issue as the maps were loading for me, but after switching articles, it's crashing again.
    If anyone has come across this and has a solution, please help me out!
    Thanks,
    S

    Found a solution.

  • Viewer crashes if any data exists in field

    Hi there,
    Wonder if you would be able to help me out. We are doing a very simple query onto the database using a Data Template (see below).
    We've set the 3 parameters and Auto Generated a Layout.
    When viewing this report (clicking View) all is fine when (any of the fields) COMPANY_BACKGROUND or FOCUS are empty. As soon as we enter any value - doesn't matter how long, or which characters - we get the error ("The report cannot be rendered because of an error, please contact the administrator.") when viewing the template in any, but Data output format. When outputting to Data, we do see the data in the database represented in the xml.
    The columns have the following specs:
    - S_ORG_EXT.DIRECTIONS is a long of type Data (Public).
    - S_ORG_EXT.FOCUS is a Varchar 700 of type Extension.
    Can anyone help us finding out why filling any of the fields with data makes the viewer crash?

  • "Edit menu in Photoshop" opens up QuickTime picture viewer

  • Incompatibility between JDK 1.4 and Windows XP Fax and Picture Viewer

    I have noticed an incompatibility between JPG files that are output from Windows XP Fax and Picture Viewer and read in by JDK 1.4 (or 1.4.1). In particular, when an image is transfered from a digital camera to a Windows XP machine, then rotated and saved in the Windows XP Fax and Picture Viewer, the resulting image file appears with corrupted colors when read and saved by the ImageIO class in JDK 1.4.
    Here is my code:
         import java.awt.image.BufferedImage;
         import javax.imageio.ImageIO;
         BufferedImage buffImg = ImageIO.read (new File ("in.jpg"));
         ImageIO.write (buffImg, "jpg", new File ("out.jpg"));
    I have also output the file with graphics format PNG and seen similar apparent corruption of colors.
    This is an image that was loaded onto Windows XP from a digital camera then rotated 90 degrees and saved with the Windows XP Fax and Picture Viewer:
    http://www.adigitalsolution.net/pics/verticalOrig.jpg
    Here is the same image read and written by JDK 1.4 ImageIO.read() and ImageIO.write():
    http://www.adigitalsolution.net/pics/verticalJavaOut.jpg
    Note that the colors appear corrupted in the above image.
    This is an image copied directly from a Sony Cybershot DSC - P71 digital camera:
    http://www.adigitalsolution.net/pics/horizontalOrig.jpg
    Here is the same image read and written by JDK 1.4 ImageIO.read() and ImageIO.write():
    http://www.adigitalsolution.net/pics/horizontalJavaOut.jpg
    It appears fine (brilliant tropical colors).
    Note that both images contain the "EXIF" header, which is the JPEG-like format used by many digital cameras. Some may say that the JDK 1.4 spec does not support EXIF, but the image not touched by Windows XP was read successfully. And other image editing programs read in both successfully, such as PaintshopPro and the Mozilla 1.0 web browser. But there is a specific incompatibility with JDK 1.4.
    I have reproduced this problem on Windows NT 4 and Red Hat Linux 7.3 using an image file that was saved on Windows XP.
    Here is a warning from Nikon about the behavior of Windows XP Fax and Picture Viewer:
    http://www.dpreview.com/news/0112/01121402nikonxpwarnings.asp
    Does anybody know a workaround?

    This is scary and explains why some of my Exif headers are trashed.
    I would guess the problem has something to do with XP not writing the file back out 100% true to the JPEG spec.
    Really annoying that they do this. They think they can just hack up and change standards that are not their own. Take their FTP client in Windows XP. Talk about a broken client.
    My suggestion is to dis-associate jpegs with XP's image and fax viewer. Instead associate them with Mozilla.

  • Lots of noise in the windows picture-viewer - What can I do?

    Hello folks,
    I hava a problem I just noticed. My very first pregnancy pictures have a lot of noise after I saved them as a jpg-file. It's a pretty dark picture in Black&White. In Photoshop it looks great and I noticed that it also looks great in Windows 8 new photo-App. Only the "old" picture-viewer shows all the noise that actually isn't there. My problem now is that, if I send the pics to my customers, the could be pretty dissappointed when they see the bad result that really isn't a bad result at all. And it would be pretty stupid to tell them not to use the picture-viewer or ignore the noise that actually isn't there....
    Now my problem: Did I make a mistake during the saving-progress as a jpg-image?
    What needs to be done to have a good-looking result, no matter which software or program opens the picture?
    Thanks so much from Germany,
    Alexander
    PS: The noise is now not seen in the picture above. But it is when I use the picture-viewer.

    Hello again,
    thanks for your help. I treid the steps you told me. "RGB Color" was already checked as well as "convert to SRGB". I tried to convert to adobe RGB and also removed the profile and saved a new JPG each time - with no difference, unfortunately.
    Could it maybe have something to do with "Grayscale" since it is a black&white picture?
    I'm very confused with that whole subject. The problem is that the pics aren't saved with all that noise in them, it's the picture viewer simply deceiving us. And most people use that software to watch their pics that way..... I can already imagine the complaint from the woman in the pics....
    I hope you have some more advice for me.
    Thanks,
    Alex

  • How do I get Thunderbird to open .jpg in Windows Picture Viewer?

    When I was using Windows Live Mail and clicked on a jpg attachment to an email, it opened in Windows Live Mail. When I try this with Thunderbird nothing happens.

    Hi Matt, thanks for responding, but things seem to have fixed themselves now. Before when clicking on a jpg attachment at the bottom of the email, nothing occurred, but now it opens in Windows Picture Viewer.
    Whether it is something I have inadvertently remedied by my fiddling I don't know, but at the moment all's well.
    cheers Russell
