windows photo viewer - in XP the Windows picture and Fax Viewer would print a jpeg of an 8.5 x 11 document in ACTUAL SIZE. Photo Viewer in Windows 7 will not. It either crops off the top or reduces the doc to fit the page even when 8.5 x 11 borderless paper is chosen. Is this still a legacy from that mistake of a program VISTA?  Do I just chalk it up to yet another feature that MS had right in XP so they had to "fix" it? Aside from looking for some other software is there any way to adjust this or set a default? Can I install XP Photo and Fax Viewer?

    Hi,

    If there is any third party software uninstall the same and check if that helps.

    You may follow these below steps to set the picture to its actual size while viewing and printing.

    To view the picture at its actual size, click Actual size . To make the entire picture fit in the Windows Photo Viewer window, click Fit to window.

    If you wish to have more features with Pictures on your computer then you need to install Windows live photo gallery and check if it has the features you expect.
