The path in the error message you quoted :

"Error loading ProgramFiles\Windows Photo Gallery\Photoviewer.dll."

There is no folder called 'ProgramFiles', it's 'Program Files' with a space.
(If it's just a typing error then ignore it.)
Actually you don't even know for sure if this file is corrupted so replacing it
may have no effect on your problem.

Anyway, to take ownership of a file copy this reg file into a blank text document,
save the file as ' Ownership.reg ', right-click and select ' Merge'.
This will add a right-click context menu ' Take Ownership '.
Once you have ownership you can rename the file.
(If you want to reverse the registry changes use the second reg file.)


Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\runas]
@="Take Ownership"
"NoWorkingDirectory"=""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\runas\command]
@="cmd.exe /c takeown /f \"%1\" && icacls \"%1\" /grant administrators:F"
"IsolatedCommand"="cmd.exe /c takeown /f \"%1\" && icacls \"%1\" /grant administrators:F"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\runas]
@="Take Ownership"
"NoWorkingDirectory"=""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\runas\command]
@="cmd.exe /c takeown /f \"%1\" /r /d y && icacls \"%1\" /grant administrators:F /t"
"IsolatedCommand"="cmd.exe /c takeown /f \"%1\" /r /d y && icacls \"%1\" /grant administrators:F /t"



***************************************************************
To remove the context menu:


Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00


[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\runas]

[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\runas]

Re: Windows Photo Gallery problem

Dave,

Thanks for the response and info.

Regarding you comment about Program Files being two works that is
true. However, when the error message appeared on the screen the note
indicated ProgramFiles as one word no spaces.

When I look at the version number of the photoviewer.dll in my Windows
Photo Gallery folder it is 6.0.002.18005and 2,323968 bytes when looked
at via properties. However, the file I got recently via Microsoft
site is 6.0.6000.16386 and 2,313,216 bytes. Is this what is on your
computer?

Well, if the program is looking for ProgramFiles that may be why it can't find the dll.
Don't know what to say about that.

I have 3 versions of Photoviewer.dll on my machine.

c:\program files\windows photo gallery:
6.0.6002.18005 2,323,968 bytes.

c:\windows\winsxs:
6.0.6002.18005
6.0.6001.18000
6.0.6000.16386

It looks like the file you downloaded is the original first version.

Does the slide show work normally, with pictures from another folder ?

Re: Windows Photo Gallery problem

Dave,

When you look at individual pictures they are viewable. The problem
come when you want to view as a slide show by clicking on "View Image
Slide Show. I just did a search on my system and the only one I have
in a working folder and that is the one I wrote about in the last
note.

Also, just checked all of my drives and the only "Program Files" that
show are the two word version. Could be a problem with the Microsoft
error message indicating program files as one word when it is truly
two words.

The banner error message is as follows:
In blue area it says: RunDll
In white area it says: Error loading ProgramFiles\Windows Photo
Gallery\Photoviewer.dll

The specified module could not be found.

So your version the same size as mine 2,323,968 bytes.

I wonder if I try to replace all of the files in the Windows Photo
Gallery folder if that might work?

Re: Windows Photo Gallery problem

Did you read where Dave said
"Well, if the program is looking for ProgramFiles that may be why it can't
find the dll"?

That is a very significant clue...

I see you are posting with Forte Agent but when you click
on ' View Image Slide Show ' I'm guessing you are talking about the
link embedded in the Windows Mail program.
I think the problem is probably with Windows Mail and not Windows Photo Gallery.
Microsoft have stopped support for Windows Mail, and expect everyone to upgrade
to Windows Live Mail.
That may be one way of fixing your problem, i.e. upgrade to Live Mail.

Re: Windows Photo Gallery problem

Dave & Gene,

Thanks for the response.

I just checked Help about and I am using Windows Live Mail v12.0.1606.
When I click on the Mail Icon Live Mail is what comes up.

If I can resolve by mid next week a friend is going to come over and
help rebuild starting with a format of the c drive.

You can have Live Mail write a troubleshooting log file, but I don't know how useful
it might be.

In Live Mail go to Tools > Options > Advanced > Maintenance
In the Troubleshooting section check General and Email.

The log file is located at C:\LiveMail and it's called WindowsLiveMail.log.
It's a large text file and it may already have some clues about your problem.
If you try the slide show a few times see if anything is reported.

I have lots of errors in mine, things like:

Windows Live Mail 14.0.8064.0206*********************************************************************************
[18:28:30.48] 0f94 Mail: Zone_MailChk ERROR: (storutil.cpp:5609), failed with 0x80070057
[18:28:30.48] 0f94 Mail: Zone_MailChk ERROR: (storutil.cpp:5731), failed with 0x80070057
[18:28:45.31] 0e04 Mail: Zone_MailChk ERROR: (menuutil.cpp:1456), failed with 0x80040100

I don't know what they mean but if I didn't look in the log file I wouldn't know I had any errors!

(I suppose you could try upgrading to Live Mail ver.14.)

Re: Windows Photo Gallery problem

Gene,

I just went to LiveMail and checked the boxes General and POP3 which I
think is the Email box that you mean in this note. I do not see a
LiveMail folder in the Windows folder. I also tried a search for the
file WindowsLiveMail.log but nothing was found.

Any other ideas.

It was me that suggested the log file, not Gene.
I made no mention of POP3.

Open Live Mail.
On the top right hand side click on the Menus button ( Alt+M).
Select ' Show menu bar '.
Now from the menu bar find ' Tools ' and click on it.
Select ' Options'.
A selection of tabbed boxes opens up.
Select the ' Advanced ' tab.
At the bottom click on ' Maintenance '.
Where it says ' Troubleshooting ' select the box marked ' General'.
And then select the box marked ' E-mail '.
Click on the ' Close button'
Then click on the 'Apply' and ' OK' button.

The log file is in :
C:\LiveMail , NOT in Windows.

Re: Windows Photo Gallery problem

Dave,

I followed all of your steps. When I get to trouble shooting the
choices that can be checked are: General, POP3, News, IMAP, HTTP.
There is no option for email. Also looked in Explorer and i do not
see any folder named LiveMail on the C drive.

I have checked General and POP3.

I just went to the email that has the slide show option for the jpg's.
Clicked on view image slide show and got failure message but no folder
called LiveMail on C drive. I even created the LiveMail folder but
after the test there was nothing in it.

Sorry, my fault, mea maxima culpa, etc.
I am using Windows 7 and I assumed the folder tree was the same as Vista.

Have a look for the log file here:

c:\users\your name\appdata\local\microsoft\windows live mail

As to the differences regarding POP3, e-mail etc. I can only guess it's
because you are running Live Mail version 12 and I am on version 14.

Re: Windows Photo Gallery problem

Dave,

I did not realize that there was an update to LiveMail. Installed the
update and now the Photo Galley problem is gone due to the update.
Thanks for the help.

Now down to one problem related to office but have not figured it out.
Will post a note in the office Group to see if someone can help on
that one. Filed a problem report with Microsoft but not sure when I
will hear from them.

Again Thanks,

oldman
