Windows 7: Can't open any images

Can't open any images

Trying to open any image with the default Windows Photo Viewer gives me the following error:



I have plenty of hard disk space and RAM available. I can open anything else, I can even open images in other programs, but Windows Photo Viewer won't do anything for me. I've been running Windows 7 for several weeks without any issues - this seems to have come out of nowhere.

According to MS, your registry keys for the program may be damaged and you'll need to reinstall the photo viewer.

How much ram do you have? Both free and total.

Sorry, I should have updated my post that I solved the problem. I had to change a colour profile for my monitor in my display settings.
