Re: Windows Photo Gallery problem

I am trying to view a slide show in an email under Vista. When I
click on view image slide show I get a message the photoviewer.dll can
not be found. The file is in the folder Windows Photo Gallery. Can
some one tell me what is wrong? Could the file be corrupted? How do
I get a clean copy if the file is damages?

TIA

Hi, oldman.

The first thing to try is System File Checker from a Command Prompt:
sfc /scannow

What happens when you try that?

The next thing to try is Google or Bing. Bing gets over 19 million hits on
"photoviewer.dll". Google gets 60,400, so you might want to start there.

Hi, R.C. White,

I followed your instructions and ran sfc/scannow. At the completion
Windows resource corruption found corrupt files but was unable to fix
some of them.
Details are included in the CBS.log windir\logs\CBS\CBS.log. For
example C:Windows\LOg\CBS.log.

I opened the folder Windows\Log\CBS and found a file CBS.log created
today. The file is 32,548KB. I tried to open the file but the system
will not allow that to happen. What program will open the file so I
can see where my problems are located.

Thanks for the response now what?

Delete the log and run sfc/scannow again. The log will be much smaller.

Mike,

Thanks for the response. I followed your instructions and deleted the
log file. The file is now 328Kb and the filter list is 1 Kb. What do
I do to view the problems that remain. Is there a program that can
read the log file and let me see the remaining problems?

Mike,

I tried the sfc /scannow once more without deleting the last file. the
size increase from 328 kb to 644 kb or an increase of 316 kb. Does
multiple runs clean up more problems?

Also, the problem with photoviewer.dll is still there. Is there any
way to get hold of a clean copy of photoviewer.dll?

thanks once more,

oldman

Delete the log and run sfc/scannow again. You can open the log using
Notepad. Here's a link to photoviewer.dll.

Mike,

Just reran sfc /scannow and there are two files in the folder
windows/logs/:
CBS file size 330Kb
FilterList size 1Kb

When I try to open CBS I get the following error message: Access
denied. If I try FilterList I get the following:
tmevtmgr 26 1
DefragFS 0 0
tmpreflt 26 0
luafv 1 0
FileInfo 26 0

Not sure what to make of the information above.

Await you next note.

Mike

An additional question/problem. I downloaded the photoviewer.dll from
the Microsoft link you gave me. When I tried to copy it into the
Windows Photo Gallery folder the system would not allow me to replace
the bad file. I was able to add the file to the folder as
Photoviewer(2).dll. I tried to edit the permissions but the system
would not let that happen to the original file or the recent
version(2). How do I get rid of the original file and then rename the
new one to Photoviewer.dll and hopefully solve at least this problem?

Thanks,

oldman

My knowledge on this issue has reached its limit. Hopefully one of the
MVP's can step in and help.

Sorry.
