Solved Windows Photo Viewer/PhotoViewer

[Funkyecat]

Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit:
I tried to open a jpg file and received an error message that there was a problem starting. "The system cannot find message text for message number 0x%1 in the message file for %2."

The folder and files do not exist. I do not have the windows disk to run scannow as there is only a recovery partition (I backed it up) on the computer.

Is there any way to download that particular part/folder and its contents anywhere. My search yielded nothing nor the Windows website.

You don't need the disk to run sfc/ scannow.
Here is the tutorial. Use Option Two.

If it finds problems but says it "cannot repair all" leave Cmd window open and type it in again and run up to 3 times.
Sometimes it takes more than one pass to repair files.

Thanx, It appears to have restored the files. Many other items also, so I'll rerun it again tomorrow

Excellent. Glad it helped.
