Windows Photos Viewer

Up until yesterday when I attempted to open a JPG photo or file sent to my Hotmail account, it would direct me to Windows Photo Viewer. I then could open the photo using Miscrosoft Photo Gallery. Now it sends me to:
C:\Users\Name\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache\IE\0MX0B0HF\Name.jpg
So what am I doing wrong?

  • Can't open a link in a web page, goes immediately to down load and then when opened it shows downloaded to windows photo viewer, which won't open

    I open a web page, in the web page there is a link to open another link. I click on this link and the doc is 'downloaded' automatically , I click on the 'green arrow' download button at top of screen, the page opens and says 'windows photo viewer can't open the picture because photo viewer doesn't support this file format or you don't have the latest update to photo viewer'!! I just want to open the link. Grateful for advice.

    Where is that happening? Please provide the URL.

  • Officejet pro 8000 wireless will not print from windows photo viewer. all other diagnostics ok.

    OS is Windows 7 Home Premium x 64. All functions and printing are ok with this unit, excepting for printing through Windows Photo Viewer. Have latest software, drivers, etc., and all HP software and hardware diagnostic tools check out ok.
    Checked Windows event log, and get Event 350, PrintService - Document  failed to print and was deleted because of corruption in the spooled file. The associated driver is: . Try printing the document again.
    There is no additional info on this event listed in the Microsoft TechNet Events and Errors Message Reporting Center
    When this happens, all of the lights on the printer flash very rapidly.
    To correct, I clear the queue through Explorer, Troubleshoot, and unplug printer to reset.
    Any suggestions appreciated.
    Thanks

    FYI, I got this to work by treating my printer as a wired printer, even though it allegedly has wireless functionality. Luckily, my ohter devices can print to it wirelessly. At least I don't need to replace my printer just yet...

  • How do I print 4x6 photos on an HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus via Windows Photo Viewer or Gallery

    Dear Experts, I've got an HP Officejet Pro 8600 printer with just one paper tray in which I loaded 4x6 photo paper.
    The printer was purchased in January 2014, the latest drivers are installed. Now I would like to print a single 4x6 photo using Windows Photo Viewer or Gallery.I loaded the 4x6 photo paper  into the tray as indicated by the little icon labeled 4x6in, so I suppose I got the HW part right. It's just the SW part which gives me a hard time. The available paper size options in Windows Photo Viewer and Gallerydon't include photo paper sizes, just the standard paper and envelope sizes.Hence I checked in the HP Printer Assistant in "Set Preferences" what kind of paper sizes are available, and there is exactly the same list as proposed by Gallery, missing photo paper sizes. So I guess Gallery just picks the sizes from the driver and ther are no photo paper sizes. This is an issue because I prefer to print from my PC using Win 7 or Win 8 and not from a SD card or a USB stick. Any help is very welcome, thank you in advance!   

    Thank you for this link! Actually I installed a brand new Windows 8 system in January 2014 and then bought the HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus printer a few days later. To install this printer I did not use the CD that came with it but already used this link. Just to be sure that I have the latest version I again reinstalled the driver. The result is definitive: You cannot print common photo paper sizes like 4x6,  5x7, 8x10, etc. via a PC using photo SW like HP Photo Creations, MS Gallery, Windows Photo Viewer or any other SW on a HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus. The reason is most likely that HP marketing decided that an Officejet should not be smart enough for photos, after all the company sells also Photosmarts. Because you cannot create your own formats  you are limited by the driver to what is typically available in an office, in this case:  A4, Letter, legal, Statement, Executive, A4, A5, A6, B54 (JIS), Envelopes #10-DL-C5-C6-A2-Monarch, Japanese Postcard, Japanese Envelope Chou #3-#4, L, 2L, O**bleep**u hagaki, Index Card Letter-A4, Edge-to-Edge Letter-A4, Env. Japanese No 3-No 4 and that's it, not more. Thank you anyway for trying to help me but in this case only the SW developers in HP can help.It would be great to be able to print from time to time a 4x6 photo on this printer like I would do.Copying photos on a USB stick or on a SD card first and then use this way to print on the printer is too cumbersome for me.

  • Issue with Windows Photo Viewer: "can't save picture because an unknown error occured"

    Hi,
    I recently installed Windows 7 RC (Build 7100). I quite often have an issue in Windows Photo Viewer when rotating an image and trying to go to the next picture. It gives me the error "Windows Photo Viewer can't save picture because an unknown error occured".
    Seperate from this issue: when I delete a picture in Windows Photo Viewer, it is still in the Windows Explorer overview of files. This did not use to be the case in Windows XP?
    Kind regards,
    Frederik

    Hi
    SOSv2 ,
    This should be fixed in Windows 7 RTM.
    Also, you can install Windows Live Photo Gallery to view and rotate pictures as well. To download it, please click
    HERE . For more information about Windows Live Photo Gallery, you can

    In addition, please understand that Nikon RAW images (and most Canon) do not support rotate functionality in Windows Photo Viewer, and thus rotate is
    disabled. To rotate those types of images, the user will need to use an image editing program that fully supports their RAW codec.
    Regards,
    Linda
    I am using Win 7 x64 Ultimate RTM and still have this problem (with JPG's dumped from my Nikon to the hard drive).  Doesn't do it on every one that I rotate, but still very annoying.  Is there a fix?

  • How do I get direct into P/S cc from a picture in Bridge instead of it coming up in Windows photo viewer when I click on the picture?

    On previous versions I simply clicked on a picture in BR and it came up in P/S at the moment it defaults to Windows photo viewer. I also get a version of Elements editor 12 trial showing in the "open with" table that I would like to get rid of ?

    at the moment it defaults to Windows photo viewer.
    In Bridge preferences file type associations you can alter the application you want Bridge to open that file type in.
    I also get a version of Elements editor 12 trial showing in the "open with" table that I would like to get rid of ?
    The open with shows all applications on your system, if you have not uninstalled the trial version properly you should try to do so or just ignore it.

  • Bridge opens JPEG files in Windows Photo Viewer not Photoshop

    How do I tell Bridge to open my JPEG files in Photoshop and not Windows Photo Viewer? I see that Windows Photo Viewer is selected as the default in my preferences and I do not see Photoshop as an option. I do see COM Surrogate 6.1. I just upgraded from CS5 to CS6 yesterday and I am just noticing this issue. I never dealth with this problem with CS5. Any suggestions? Thank you all for the help.

    If you deleted CS5 after installing CS6 you are one of the unfortunate that also fouled up the file associations. 
    The safest way to restore function is to uninstall CS6, run the Adobe script cleaner and reinstall.
    There is a registry fix that I include as an option, but on vacation so can not find that references.
    Some have had succes with running CCleaner, but registry cleaners can cause some problems of their own if the delete "good files".

  • Why am I getting sharper printouts from Windows Photo Viewer than PSE 7? This was not always the case. has something in my settings changed? I have tried all obvious solutions but no change. How can i get the best image print outs from PSE?

    I prefer to print from PSE as this allows me to set  picture dimensions. Windows photo viewer does not give this flexibility. I am using the same PC, the same printer and the same print file, yet the outcome from each software option is significantly different. WPV is sharp and bright whereas PSE is softer. Can any one help me?

  • DPI and image quality in programs like Windows Photo Viewer

    I'll keep this as short as possible.  About 6 years ago I bought a Panasonic Lumix DMC-F28 digital camera (not DSLR).  It claims 10 MP.  After that my daughter bought a Canon Rebel (don;t know the model) which has 12 MP.  I would compare her pics with mine by looking at them in Windows Photo Viewer.  Hers always looked a lot fuzzier than mine.  Especially true if you zoomed in.   And I gave her a hard time, saying she had bought a knock off.
    I just purcahsed a Rebel T5i with the usual kit  18/55 lens.  I took a picture with both the new and the old camera.  Guess what?  Given the same subject with the same lighting, the Panasonic still produces much clearer pictures in Windows Photo Viewer than the Canon.  The only difference I see is that the Canon states the DPI as 72 and the Panasonic as 180.  OF course, the Canon image has a lot more pixels.
    I know that DPI matters only when a picture is printed.  But is it possible that the DPI property in the image file is telling Windows Photo Viewer how to present the image?  I hope so.  Otherwise I lucked out with my Panasonic and got the best camera in the world, or a Canon is not so great after all.
    Do I need to apologize to my daughter? See attached images.
    These images are opened in MS Paint and cropped to bring out the eye and hair detail.
    Panasonic Image
    Canon Image

    You comparison method is seriously flawed. For 1 image to be at 72 DPI (a software supplied setting) & the other to be at 180 DPI it means that one image has been enlarged (180 divided by 72) 2.5 times more than the other to view it on screen. Zoom in on the good image until it's 2.5 times larger & see how it looks.
    Next thing you need to know is that camera technique becomes more important as pixel count increases. an 18 Mpixel image will have an 80% increase in softness over the 10 Mpixel camera from identical camera shake. To make any accurate form of comparison you will need to eleminate the possibility of introducing camera shake into the test. You will also need very similar lighting & the subject must also be stationary for all test shots. (IE that eye (or the person it's attached to) may have moved during one shot but not the othern

  • Satellite C650 - Windows Photo Viewer freezes every time in use

    Hello all,
    my C650 is a brand new purchase and so far I haven't been able to view any photos; on a memory stick, in "My Pictures" or in any form using the Windows Photo Viewer. Once I double click on the picture icon, the image enlarges to full screen and freezes whilst "loading" is displayed.
    At this point, I can't even end the process using the windows task manager. I'm only a student and quite inexperienced with the workings of computers, so any help will be greatly appreciated!

    Please dont understand me wrong but best option for you will be to ask some friend of you how it works and how to handle with different picture formats and different applications.
    I mean who knows which photos do you have, which format, which capacity and so on.
    With standard jpg format there should not be any problem. For instance, in windows explorer you can find folder Public pictures with some sample pictures. Can you open these pictures?

  • Windows 7, Windows Photo Viewer

    When I try to open a photo attachment (jpeg), it defaults to Windows Photo Viewer, says Loading, but does nothing more than immediately freezing my HP computer. I then have to shut down and reboot my computer. All efforts to re-open the attachment has the same result. How can I solve this problem?

    View Solution.

    Hello michael11
    In the beginning Windows Photo Viewer was part of the Operating System, but Microsoft has move it into the Windows Essentials Application. I am linking you to the site that you can go to to download and install Microsoft Windows Essentials.
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-live/essentials
    I would download the full version of the software as an update to either the Windows Operating System you are using or to the Windows Photo Viewer could have corrupted the application or could be preventing you from utilizing the application as it is not installed as the update is expecting.
    Let me know if this fix works and if you have any further comments or concerns please feel free to re-post.
