This simplifies the work on the Internet, since the requested files are issued by the browser as quickly as possible. Gradually, a lot of such files accumulate. The system spends a large number of time, resulting in performance degradation. The browser will work slowly, and you can speed it up by clearing the cache, which will at the same time solve the problem of loading images.

The absence of images after loading a web page is easy to fix in the settings of any browser, but it is important to first determine the cause of the problem. In the future, it is easy to prevent such situations if you know the features of the device of popular browsers.
Users who are using Windows 7 may experience various problems while using the built-in tool of this OS for viewing photos. For instance, this remedy may not launch at all or may not open images of a certain format. Next, we will figure out exactly how you can eliminate various problems in the operation of this program.
The specific troubleshooting steps for photo viewer problems depend on the nature and cause. The main factors that can cause the problem under study include the following:
- Change of file association or failure to identify extensions;
- Viral infection of the system;
- Damage to system files;
- Errors in the registry.
If the tool does not start at all, chances are high that its files are corrupted due to a virus infection or other failure. Therefore, first of all, check the system for viruses using an anti-virus utility. By the way, there is also the possibility that malicious code I just changed the extension of image files (PNG, JPG, etc.) to EXE and that is why applications for viewing photos cannot open them.
Then be sure to scan the system for file corruption using the built-in utility.
If none of these general scanning methods show problems, proceed to the specific Photo Viewer troubleshooting options below.
Method 1: set up file associations
There is a chance that the cause of the problem lies in the failure of the file associations settings. That is, the system simply does not understand which objects the photo viewer should open. This situation could arise when you installed a third-party image viewer, but then uninstalled it. In this case, during installation, he rewrote the image file associations to himself, and after deletion they simply were not returned to their original state. Then you need to make a manual setting.
- Click the button "Start" in the lower left corner of the screen and select "Control Panel".
- Next, open the section "Programs".
- Click on item "Matching file types ...".
- A list of all file types registered in the system will be loaded. Find in it the name of the extension of the type of pictures that you want to open with the viewer, select it and click "Change program ...".
- In the displayed window in the block "Recommended programs" highlight the name "Viewing photos ..." and click "OK".
- After that, the mapping will change. Now given type Pictures will open by default with Windows Photo Viewer. In the same way, change the associations of all those types of images that you want to open through the standard tool. After completing the necessary actions, you can exit the mapping management window by clicking "Close".
Method 2: Editing the Registry
If you are using 64 bit Windows version 7, the problem with the photo viewer can be solved by editing the system registry.
Attention! Before doing any of the steps below, be sure to create backup registry and system restore point. This will help you avoid a lot of trouble in case of mistakes.
- Dial Win + R and enter the command in the opened window:
Click on the button "OK".
- In the window that appears, open the branch "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT".
- First make settings for JPG files. Navigate sequentially to the sections:
jpegfile / Shell / open / command
- Then find the parameter "Default" on the right side of the interface. Click on it.
- In the only field of the window that opens, instead of the current record, enter the following expression:
Click "OK".
- Then follow the same procedure for pictures with the PNG extension. In the directory "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT" go to the sections:
pngfile / Shell / open / command
- Open the object again "Default" In chapter "Command".
- Change the parameter value to the following:
rundll32.exe "C: \ WINDOWS \ SysWOW64 \ shimgvw.dll", ImageView_Fullscreen% 1
Click "OK".
- Finally, you should follow the procedure for specifying the mapping for pictures with the JPEG extension. Go to directories "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT" by sections:
PhotoViewer.FileAssoc.Jpeg / Shell / open / command
- Open in the last named section the object "Default".
- Change the value in it to this:
rundll32.exe "C: \ WINDOWS \ SysWOW64 \ shimgvw.dll", ImageView_Fullscreen% 1
Click on "OK".
- Then close the window "Editor" and reboot the system. After restarting, images with the above extensions will be opened through the standard photo viewer using the second version of the shimgvw.dll library. This should solve the problem with the functionality of this program on Windows 7 64-bit version.
The built-in photo viewer can cause problems for a variety of different reasons. Each of them has its own solution algorithm. In addition, the specific method depends on the bit depth operating system... However, in most cases, you can fix the problem by updating the file type associations.
A common problem that occurs on a Windows 7 computer is that photos and pictures cannot be opened in the popular jpg format and others. This may be due to several factors, which we will talk about below, collecting all the available information about the problem on a variety of computer-related forums, and in particular, Windows 7.
The reasons that the images on the computer under the guidance of "seven" do not open may be the following:
- the file extension has been changed, for example, to * .exe, as a result of which the user launches the virus copied from the flash drive or located on it, instead of the graphic file;
- a program that the user has deleted is associated with graphic files;
- your account is not the owner of the files or catalog with photos, and access to it is limited.
Below we will consider ways to solve each problem in particular.
Permission changed
Probably, there is no need to tell that there are viruses that hide files on removable media, and copy themselves to the place of objects located there with the names of hidden directories and files. When you double-click on such a Win 7 photo, it does not open, but malicious code is launched that performs the programmed operations.
The first thing to do is scan the directory with problematic photos using a reliable antivirus software, for example, Dr.Web CureIt !.
The second step is to activate the option to display extensions for known document types. To do this, we perform several actions.
- Go to "Arrange" in the main menu Windows Explorer 7 and select the item "Folder Options".
- Go to the "View" tab.
- Uncheck the box next to the "Hide extensions ..." option, as shown in the screenshot.
- Apply the changes and check the photo extensions that won't open.
If everything is in order, proceed to the next section.
Graphics file associations
It happens that the graphics viewer in Windows 7 is accidentally or intentionally deleted by the user, as a result of which nothing happens when the image is opened, or a window appears for selecting such an application.
- We call the "Control Panel".
- We call its element "Programs by default".
- Click on the link "Setting default applications".
- Select one of the last utilities in the list - "Photo Viewer" and click "Select defaults ...".
- We check the boxes for the types of graphic files that will be opened on the computer using standard tool viewing graphics.
If you prefer alternative applications such as FastStone, InfanView, XnView or others, and they are installed on Windows 7, instead of standard utility choose a third-party solution.
- We press save and check if graphic documents are opened with the specified utility.
We open access to photos for the active account
After reinstalling the OS, as a rule, the account with administrator rights is also renamed. And if he was the owner of any data, for example, a catalog with a photo, in most cases other users do not have access to it (therefore the files cannot be opened), unless you use one simple technique - changing the owner.
- Launch "Explorer" and call "Folder Options" through the menu item "Organize".
- On the "View" tab, deactivate the "Use General Wizard ..." option and save the result.
- We call "Properties" through context menu directory with problematic pictures, go to the "Security" tab.
- Click on the "Advanced" button and go to the "Owner" tab.
- Click "Change" and select your account.
If it is absent, go to "Other users ..." → "Advanced" → "Search" and select the required account in its results.
- We press “Apply”, ticking the function “Change owner ...”, close all windows using the “Ok” buttons and affirmatively answer the prompts or warnings that appear, if they appear.
The developers of Windows 7 offer another tool that allows you to solve problems with playing slideshows, displaying pictures, even if they do not open. This is Launch FixIt. You will need it to fix the following problems:
- it is impossible to set a picture as a screensaver;
- the photo preview function does not turn on;
- in the thumbnails and the preview window, the colors of the images are rendered in inverse order;
- artifacts and interruptions to honey by flipping slides.
This is the end of the search for problems with displaying pixel images on the computer.
