In today's social media generation, taking pictures is now as easy as breathing. It's no wonder that a popular social media site gets 350 millions of photos through uploads each day among their 1.15 billion users. Windows users in particular are well acquainted in utilizing the Windows Photo Gallery or Photo Viewer (depending on the version of your operating system). Once photos find their way to your computer, these applications would let you work magic to some of the uploaded photos. You have probably tried rotating, resizing, flipping and cropping images to your liking. You can also specify how you would want to print your selected photo. You are also given the option to email photos. If you are sending out photos to friends, you can burn it in a cd using those applications. Collecting and selecting photos are made much easier as well. Indeed, there are a ton of things you can do with, and Photoviewer.dll is what enables the programs to run smoothly.
What is "Photoviewer DLL"?
It is an essential system file in running Windows Gallery. Basically, it enables photos to be opened in the Gallery just by clicking on their respective files. Whenever you click on an image file (for example, IMG1001.jpg), one of the "Photoviewer.dll" command line options run such as the following:
"rundll32 "C:\ProgramFiles\Windows Photo Viewer\PhotoViewer.dll", ImageView_Fullscreen IMG1001.jpg"
Parameters will be running in the backend and the end result is when the photo is displayed.
Are you having a DLL issue?
It will be a real bummer if you encounter issues wherein you cannot see your photographs or make the necessary modifications before showing them to the world. When your photo viewer programs malfunction, you often encounter any of the following error messages:
"missing" or "could not be found"
"not a valid win32 application"
So what messes up this dll file?
Corrupted or infected image files that access the DLL file are some of the primary causes. If you downloaded an image from the Internet, for instance, and it came with a virus, that might mess up your computer's registry.
A failed installation or upgrade of Windows Photo Gallery could also cause errors with the DLL file. This usually happens when a user upgrades from Windows Vista to Windows 7. In fact, one of the most common windows 7 photo viewer errors is brought by missing or deleted DLL files from the "C:\Program Files\Windows" Photo Viewer directory
Just like with other DLL errors, accidental deletion or replacement is also a major cause. There are also some viruses that delete these files as their way of destroying your system.
So how do you fix the issues?
A lot of online references, forums, or technical advice sites often recommend grabbing a copy of Photoviewer.dll online. However, this is quite risky as dlls in general, similar to executables file, may contain malicious or extremely harmful data and codes.
For instance, a file you download from the internet can have manipulative code that can delete photos even if a crop or resize command is executed. An infected file can also be used by hackers to access not only your prized photos, but also other sensitive information in your computer. It can also be used to invade your privacy as some photo files contain location and time stamps.
While anti-virus programs might be able to do something with the corrupted file, it might not be able to totally fix the problem. Once the registry keys are altered, these are out of reach for most anti-virus programs.
The ultimate last resort is reinstalling your Windows OS from scratch. But bear in mind that this is a laborious and time-consuming effort. You'll be required to backup all your files (not just your photos, but ALL your other files). And if an infected file manages to get into your backup, you will most likely bring the virus to your freshly-installed system.
One of your best courses of action when it comes to corrupted dll files is by acquiring a dll repair tool. This tool specializes in restoring missing files, as well as fixing altered registry values to their correct state. Your computer system will be back to normal in no time once the tool has diagnosed and fixed all potential problems. The time spent in online researching for manual fixes will be shortened after the tool has worked its magic.
About The Author: You could enjoy taking and modifying photos so long as your Photo Viewer is working in tip-top form. Just make sure that the computer fixes you use such as kernel32.dll file fixers are those from tried and tested sources like http://www.maxutilities.net/en-us/index.html.
