Well yes, but everything else seems to open them OK. It really *is* only photos that has troubles. that doesn't necessarily mean microsoft photos is at fault. some apps try to handle invalid files by guessing at what the invalid data should have been. sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. the correct thing to do is reject all files that are non-compliant or otherwise invalid, but that tends to **** off users. on the other hand, microsoft has a long history of *generating* non-compliant files (usually intentionally), mostly videos, so it's quite possible that photos has problems with certain images. post a link to such a jpeg. I'll try next time I find one that I can post (mostly I am working with proprietary stuff). what app generated the files? I'm seeing it in all sorts of stuff. JPEGs and PNG's from Snip and from Paint, for example. |

Changed the default to Windows Photo Viewer, problem solved. Maybe it is something corrupt in one of my DLLs, others don't seem to be complaining. I reckon MS technical support has got worse gradually. It certainly irritates the hell out of me having to look at screens designed for phones and tablets when working on a "proper" computer. I gather I can install Word 2013 under my Office 365 license, and I will be doing that when I get around to it. |

Maybe it is something corrupt in one of my DLLs, others don't seem to be complaining. I reckon MS technical support has got worse gradually. it could be a corrupt dll or something else about what's on that particular computer. one way to test that is try the same image files on another computer with a clean install of the same version of windows (or a virtual machine). It certainly irritates the hell out of me having to look at screens designed for phones and tablets when working on a "proper" computer. I gather I can install Word 2013 under my Office 365 license, and I will be doing that when I get around to it. mobile and desktop computers are both 'proper' computers, just optimized for different tasks. for many tasks, a mobile device is a much better choice. the problem is that microsoft tried to make windows support both and it isn't working out particularly well. apple has separate desktop and mobile oses, based on the same core os. |

Perhaps you can present one that fits your criteria? Mac OS generally. My SO (who doesn't like or enjoy computers much) has a MBA and doesn't fight with it unless it's a website related issue. OTOH, her work Windows machine gives her no end of fits which are OS or app issues. And while evolving versions of Mac OS may stop supporting an app, it doesn't outright delete it. An app can (usually) be copied out to another Mac or volume and run again with an older version of the OS. No need to "install". Try "copying" an installed app under windows to another machine to run under a deprecated v. of the OS... (it better be a very simple app). -- "2/3 of Donald Trump's wives were immigrants.
