    Pictures

    This is a tricky one.

    For some time when trying to edit or change images I get a message saying there is a fault. I simply have clicked off and continued. No problem. Yesterday reading about this on another site I followed an instruction:
    Search Box
    cmd
    right click in program list
    enter sfc/scanner

    which is supposed to fix it.

    It did.

    However now :

    a) all my thumbnails have been replaced by an icon
    b) when I try to open I get this message:



    Windows Live Photo Gallery encountered an error loading WLX PhotoViewer.dll and can't start.
    Error Code OX800700f

    I'm a novice at this stuff as I have mentioned before, but you guys give good advice. Could this be a Advpack.dll that has somehow been corrupted by the previous action or is it perhaps a registry problem or what?
    I keep the system updated automatically for Windows updates so assume there is not a driver problem, or could there be?

    Any help, as usual, gratefully received, but please keep it primer one!

    Thanks

    Are you running Vista or Win 7?

    I noticed that you mentioned running SFC/Scannow instead of SFC /Scannow (notice the space after SFC). You should run the latter.

    Wither,

    Sorry. I thought this was just the Vista site. I run Vista Premium 32 bit. So you think if I repeat the scan as you state this might fix the problem?
    Thanks for getting back.

    Try reverting to a system restore point.

    Did you try sfc /scannow? Wither noticed that you had no space after sfc; I tried that and to my surprise the command still ran. However in your post you said sfc/scanner. That is an invalid command and if you read the text after you run that command it tells you what the valid parameters are. In your case it is sfc /scannow. sfc /scanner does nothing. Also you have to right click and select run as administrator. You did not explicitly say that you did that just that you right clicked. Give that a try and tell us if it makes a difference.

    Re: Pictures

    I am logged on as administrator. I ran the scan and this is what came up:

    WRP found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them.

    Details are included in the CBS.Log windir\Logs\CBS\CBS.Log windir\Logs\CBS\CBS.log
    For example c:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.Log

    I still cannot open any thumbnail and get the same fault message as reported before.

    My apologies about the question regarding Vista or Win 7. I was thinking that Vista didn't have Photo Gallery but I'm wrong. I was on my Win 7 machine last night so didn't check it until this morning on my Vista machine.

    I think Richc46 always says to run the scan at least three times.

    You might also try the fix provided here-

    Regardless as to the fact that you are logged in as an administrator you must click run as administrator unless you are running the administrator account.

    As for cbs.log in this tutorial are instructions on what to do with it: System Files - SFC Command
