| Windows 7: Explorer crashing. Cannot access PhotoViewer.dll |

Explorer crashing. Cannot access PhotoViewer.dll Just installed Windows 7 Ultimate x64 last week and I'm having issues with opening any digital photo (or any file that would open in the Windows Photo Viewer app). Every time I try to open it from windows explorer it crashes explorer. It generates three events in the Application Logs, which I will show in order of occurence below.
A sidenote: I have installed Picasa 3 which installs its own Photo Viewer, so I thought that might be the issue.
STEPS I'VE TRIED TO RESOLVE ISSUE:
1. I tried reinstalling Picasa 3 in case it somehow corrupted something with the built-in photo viewier, no luck.
2. I tried booting from the Win 7 dvd and doing a system repair, no luck.
3. I tried adding the "Take Ownership" registry hack to the right-click menu and taking ownership of the folder shown in the error logs below (C:\Program Files\Windows Photo Viewer\), then giving myself Full Access to the folder, no luck.
4. Next step would be doing a full OS Repair/Upgrade, but I wanted to post on this forum first.
APPLICATION LOGS:

Report Id: 0366465a-075c-11df-8997-0015f2ea6da9 ------------------------------------------- Second event
------------------------------------------ Code: Windows cannot access the file C:\Program Files\Windows Photo Viewer\PhotoViewer.dll for one of the following reasons: there is a problem with the network connection, the disk that the file is stored on, or the storage drivers installed on this computer; or the disk is missing. Windows closed the program Windows Explorer because of this error.
Program: Windows Explorer
File: C:\Program Files\Windows Photo Viewer\PhotoViewer.dll
The error value is listed in the Additional Data section.
User Action
1. Open the file again. This situation might be a temporary problem that corrects itself when the program runs again.
2. If the file still cannot be accessed and
- It is on the network, your network administrator should verify that there is not a problem with the network and that the server can be contacted.
- It is on a removable disk, for example, a floppy disk or CD-ROM, verify that the disk is fully inserted into the computer.
3. Check and repair the file system by running CHKDSK. To run CHKDSK, click Start, click Run, type CMD, and then click OK. At the command prompt, type CHKDSK /F, and then press ENTER.
4. If the problem persists, restore the file from a backup copy.
5. Determine whether other files on the same disk can be opened. If not, the disk might be damaged. If it is a hard disk, contact your administrator or computer hardware vendor for further assistance.

Hi Jeremy.
Nice post
Can we get the event ID and source or category for the three? Screen shot would be helpful.

I also forgot to add one step I tried taking to resolve the issue. I turned off UAC, rebooted, but no change.
Would you suggest I try to do a full-blown repair of windows? | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Compaq Presario SR1710NX OS Windows 7 Ultimate x64 CPU AMD Sempron Processor 3400+ 2.0 GHz Memory 4.0 GB Graphics Card NVIDIA GeForce 6800 XT Sound Card Realtek Monitor(s) Displays Dual Dell 1907FP Screen Resolution 1280x1024 each Hard Drives 400 GB Maxtor

I performed an "sfc /scannow" after seeing an event in my logs saying that the Photoviewer.dll is corrupted. After running the scan it returned the following: Code: 2010-02-08 15:11:28, Info CSI 000002f5 [SR] Cannot repair member file [l:34{17}]"ImagingEngine.dll" of Microsoft-Windows-ImagingEngine, Version = 6.1.7600.16385, pA = PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE_AMD64 (9), Culture neutral, VersionScope = 1 nonSxS, PublicKeyToken = {l:8 b:31bf3856ad364e35}, Type neutral, TypeName neutral, PublicKey neutral in the store, hash mismatch
