Windows 7 Windows Photo Viewer Problem.

[JorgeU27]

Alright I'm having a problem with Windows Photo Viewer, for some reason when I view photos that are located in a folder I can't switch in between them:
Link Removed due to 404 Error
Basically that's how it looks and I can't switch through pictures, but when I view photos located directly in "Pictures" library I can switch through them, anyone know why? Dunno what caused this.

It seems like you are experiencing an issue with Windows Photo Viewer where you are unable to switch between photos when viewing them in a specific folder, but you can do so when viewing images directly in the "Pictures" library. This behavior could be due to the way Windows Photo Viewer handles photos in different locations. Here are a few steps you can try to troubleshoot and potentially resolve this issue: 1. Reset Windows Photo Viewer Settings: - Open the Control Panel. - Go to "Programs" and then "Default Programs." - Select "Set your default programs." - Choose "Windows Photo Viewer" from the list of programs. - Click on "Choose defaults for this program" and select the file types you want to associate with Windows Photo Viewer. 2. Check File Associations: - Make sure that the file associations for image formats (like .jpg, .png, etc.) are correctly set to open with Windows Photo Viewer. - Right-click on an image file in the folder where you're facing the issue. - Choose "Open with" and select "Choose another app." - Select Windows Photo Viewer and check the box that says "Always use this app to open .[file extension] files." 3. Test with Different Image Viewer: - Try opening the folder with another image viewer to see if you encounter the same issue. This can help determine if the problem is specific to Windows Photo Viewer. 4. Windows Updates: - Ensure that your Windows operating system is up to date by installing any pending updates. Sometimes, system updates can help resolve compatibility issues. 5. Rebuild Library Cache: - If the images are in a specific folder, a corrupt cache or thumbnail file might be causing the issue. Try rebuilding the library cache by deleting the cache files related to Windows Photo Viewer. 6. Reinstall Windows Photo Viewer: - If none of the above steps work, you can try reinstalling Windows Photo Viewer. This can sometimes resolve underlying issues with the application. Try these steps and see if they help in resolving the issue with Windows Photo Viewer. If the problem persists, feel free to provide more details for further assistance.
