Hello,
I reinstalled the old Windows Photo Viewer on my PC because I'm not a fan of the Photos app. I've been using it for years and I've never had any issues, but today, when opening certain images, I get the message saying:
"The viewer (...) cannot display this image because the available memory may be insufficient on your computer. Close some unused programs or, if your hard drive is almost full, free up disk space and try again."
I can open these photos with the Photos app, but I would like to do so with the viewer.
Is there a solution for this? While searching a bit, I only found solutions that would only work if I were unable to open all my images with the viewer, and not just a minority.
If there isn't a solution that works with the old Windows viewer, are there other similar viewers that could open these images that I could use to replace my current viewer?
Thank you in advance.
Configuration: Windows / Firefox 85.0

Good evening,
Personally, I use without issues Windows Photo Gallery included in the Windows Live Essentials 2012 suite available here: https://www.01net.com/telecharger/windows/Internet/communication/fiches/107116.html
You can customize the installation by choosing the desired programs (Gallery, MovieMaker, and others)
Best regards ;-)
