    Can't open Photo Viewer (RunDLL)


    Hello, when I try to open Photo Viewer I get this error message : "There was a problem starting E:\Programmes\Windows Photo Viewer\PhotoViewer.dll

    The system cannot find message text for message number 0x%1 in the message file for %2."

    I tried the solutions in these links :
    Error loading Photoviewer .dll system cannot find text for message - Microsoft Community
    Here I couldn't reregister the dll files (in step 2) and got an error message

    Windows Photo Viewer/PhotoViewer
    I tried option 2 but when I run sfc /scannow "Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them"

    So is the System Restore my only solution now ?

    Hello Gekiro, and welcome to Seven Forums.

    You might see if doing the items in the blue Note box under step 4 in Option Two may be able to help allow SFC to fix them afterwards.

    SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker

    Hope this helps, :)
