Ok,

Double check to make sure that Windows Photo Gallery is set as the default program with all of it's associations. This tutorial will show you how to if needed.

Default Programs - Program Default Associations


If that does not help, then see if rebuilding the icon cache can.

Icon Cache - Rebuild

Hope this helps,

Whistler,

It looks like you have bigger problems lurking in there. You should run a sfc/ scannow command to see if it can find and fix any bad system files that may be the cause.

System Files - SFC Command


Have you installed or changed anything before this happened?

How long has this been like this?

I run SFC / SCANNOW and not resolved.

This happened after removal of spyware.

Well, other than a clean reinstall, the only other thing I know that should fix the problem is a repair (upgrade) install.
