Fix Windows Photo Viewer can't open JPG

Here is how to fix the Windows Photo Viewer problem.

Where/How this problem occur?

• Actually, idk whether Windows Photo Viewer does not support or ignore ICC profiles.
• When open the file using Windows Photo Viewer this error appeared on Windows Photo Viewer display:

  "Windows Photo Viewer can't display this picture because there might not be enough memory available in your computer. Close some program that you aren't using or free some hard disk space (if it's almost full), and then try again."

How to fix

• Somehow this can be fix by converting all your picture with image converter but it may resulting quality drop

• To overcome the issue, only 1 byte in the JPG file that need to be change, which is:

  from: "ICC_PROFILE"
  to: "ICC_PROFILX"

  Hex view:

  address: [not fixed]
  from: 0x45
  to: 0x58

• It's hard to convert all of it one-by-one. So, I made a software that can change all of that easily, simply at high speed.
