How Can We Help?
Error “Windows Photo Viewer can’t display this picture”
To resolve the error “Windows Photo Viewer can’t display this picture”, follow these steps:
- Launch the Color Control Panel applet by running
colorcpl.exe
from the Run dialog. Alternately, you can open the classic Control Panel, All Control Panel Items, and click Color Management. - In the Devices tab, select each ICC profile and click on the Remove button. Remove every profile listed on that page.
- When you see the “This color profile is the default profile for this device. Are you sure you want to disassociate it from the device?” message, click Continue.
- Next, click on the Advanced tab
- Select “Agfa: Swop Standard” from the Device profile dropdown list box. This is the most important step!
(Selecting the system default setting “System default (sRGB IEC61966-2.1)” is the root cause for the error in Windows Photo Viewer.)
- Click OK.
