Windows Photo Viewer Doesn't Open

Here's my config

Fx 6100
Corsair 8 GB
ATI Radeon HD 5450 GPU
Windows 7 Pro x64

I tried updating the driver of my GPU but the latest driver was giving me a boot loop, so I rolled back to the old one.

Since then, I am unable to open Windows Photo Viewer. I click on a photo and nothing shows up, the photo viewer doesn't even open.

I remember getting some COM Surrogate error window

Here's what shows up in the event logs

Code:

Faulting application name: DllHost.exe, version: 6.1.7600.16385, time stamp: 0x4a5bca54

Please advise. Thanks

Which driver did you try to update to and which one are you using now? Your card is only supported by the Beta crimson 16.2.1 or earlier (which would be a Radeon driver).

I tried upgrading to Catalyst Suite v15.7.1 which led to bootloop

Didn't try installing the Crimson drivers

What version of .NET framework have you installed on the computer?

Can you use Open With on the Right-Mouse click, and select Photo Viewer that way?

Did you uninstall the Crimson driver before installing 15.7.1?
