    In Windows Vista, Windows Picture and Fax Viewer has been replaced by Windows Photo Gallery. Copying Windows Picture and Fax Viewer from a Windows XP system is not an option. Windows Photo Gallery is implemented in the same file: shimgvw.dll, and the registration protocol has apparently changed between the two.

    If you're not happy with the default Photo Gallery there are a couple of free alternatives:
