    Screenshots turned yellow when opened in Windows Photo Viewer

    Hello. I have a desktop machine and it is been installed with Windows 7 operating system. I took some screenshots of the pages and then pasted it in paint and been saved in default .png format. The problem is that when I open the images it turns to yellow tint in Windows Photo Viewer. I have no idea what could be tha reason. Please help. Thank you.

    The issue could basically be related to the issue that is been associated with the file. It could be that the application may have virus or it may have gone corrupt. The system needs to be checked in order to take the things to to process out or work out well. There can be issue with the application that is the photo-viewer too. But you run the scan check steps first.

    Use another application in order to check out for the image that you have taken the screenshot. It would then help in sorting the issue well. There can be a possibility that the application may have some issue or bugs appended so you need to remove the application or use another tool in order to check out for the same. Install IrfanView application that would then help in sorting the issue.

    There is a possibility that the profile may have gone bad and hence this is the reason that the application has issue or the image that you are trying to work out with the same is not able to view good image. So it would be better that make the things to process out in order to use a good profile or make a scan check wizard.. You have to remove the current set color profile and then the issue should fix it up.

    Perform a formatting to the system this would then help you to make the things to work out possibly well for you. It is essential that the application should then work out for you. Reinstall the VGA drivers that is been installed to the system. Do check out for the same as it did work out for you. You may then get the issue sorted. Do check out for the same.

    Run the system under safe mode and then try to use the application. There may be a possibility that the application or the drivers associated with the same is not been able to cope with the system as the operating system is highly sophisticated. So do check out for the thing as it would be better that the application would then be able to cope by updating the drivers.
