• Windows Live Error Msg Photo Gallery: "an error prevents this slideshow to play."

  I have a Dell 9100 running windows 7 Ultimate. The screen saver was working well with "Windows Live Photo Gallery" selected until two days ago, when the error message "an error prevents this slideshow to play." began to appear. The screensaver works well with all the other selections in the screen saver drop down. I tried to adjust the power settings and clicked on the 'read only' button for the screen saver as suggested in previous posts, nothing is done. What to do next?

• Screensaver - Windows Live Photo Gallery - error 'an error prevents this slideshow to play' message

  Thank you for your time.
  On a new installation of Win7Pro screensaver Photo Gallery does not work as you wish.
  It is set up for the default value of C:\USERS\***\PICTURES.
  This setting causes the error.
  If I select a subdirectory of it, it works fine.
  Resolutions or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

  Hey Wilson,

  This problem may occur if you have any other type of file outside of image files that are stored in the photo folder.

  I suggest you to check that all the files in the folder of photo image files. If you find other types of files as the video file or a music file or any other type of files, I suggest going the other files except the file image to a separate folder or another location and check to see if the screensaver in the photo gallery works just fine.

  I hope this helps. Let us know the status.

  Thank you and best regards,

• In Windows 8, an error prevents the slideshow to play as screensaver, also error when playing YouTube videos and no sound on videos

  Everything was working fine a week ago and I never changed anything, but my screen of sleep (Windows Live Photo Gallery), stopped working and I got this error message.  As it happened, when I try to play videos YouTube I get an error message and it tells me to try again later.  Videos in other formats will play, but there is no sound on any of them although when I run the maintenance program it says there is no problem with the sound.  I don't know which is the case because I tried some fixes, I found on the internet and the screensaver CAME and returning for a day, but then stopped working again the next day.

  This question was asked before with earlier versions of Windows, but no one seems to have found a permanent solution?  Help, please.

  Hello

  You can run the SFC tool and check if that helps. SFC/scannow is a very useful command that you can use in any version of Windows. When the SFC (System File Checker) command is used with the/scannow switch, the tool analyzes all the important files of Windows on your computer and replace if necessary. Missing and the corruption of the operating system (like many DLLs) files are probably the main cause of the major problems of Windows.

  See the following steps to perform a scan SFC:

  (a) press the Windows key + X, select the prompt (Admin) to bring up the elevated command prompt.

  (b) in the command prompt, type the following command: sfc/scannow then press ENTER.

  (c) after the scan, restart the computer and check if the problem persists.

  Response with the State of the question and we will be happy to offer you our help.

• an error prevents the slideshow showing in my photo gallery

  After that I updated my computer with the vista package 1 I can't see my photos as my as slide show or screen saver

  Jennifer24 Hello,

  Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Community Forum.

  I searched and found that several others were having the same issue as you are.

  Here are some suggestions of these forums:

  (1) before any changes it is recommended to back up your files and then put a restore point from the system if necessary, you can restore to a previous state.

  To create a manually restore point:

  Click Start.

  Right click on my computer.

  Select Properties.

  In the task on the left pane, click System Protection.

  Select a disk (place check mark in the box if it is not already) in the list, usually C: and click Create.

  Type a name to identify this restore point (e.g. "prior to the update of the pilot").

  Click on the button create.

  When you are finished, Windows opens a window indicating that the restore point was created successfully.

  (2) your card video must have a certain amount of memory shipped with DirectX 9 support for slideshow screensavers work. It is recommended to have a video card with 128 MB of video memory that supports shader 2.0 pixel for Photo Search screen to work.
  DirectX is a technology that manages all the graphics technology in the presentation of the office system and Visual effects.

  So, you will need to have a video card updated with the latest updated drivers GUI to render successfully.

  Go to the manufacturer of your video card and the search for driver downloads. Download the most recent driver to install.

  (3) change the power settings for the best plan for your configuration. Balanced, high performance or energy saver.

  • Open Power Options by clicking the Start button, click on the Control Panel, clicking system and Maintenance, and then clicking Power Options.
  • According to the plan that you want to change, click on change plan settings.
  • The parameters of change for the plan page, choose the display settings and the sleep that you want to use when your computer is running on battery (mobile PC only) and when it is plugged.

  (4) the next thing is to look in the folder of Photos for all the shortcuts or other types of media. You can try to remove the video files and clips that are in the folder that you use for the screen saver pictures. This has been known to cause problems with the screensaver and Photo slide shows.

  (5) the final step is to update the realtek drivers, if they are on your system. Use the link provided,

  http://www.Realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsCheck.aspx?langid=1&PNid=14&PFID=24&level=4&Conn=3&DownTypeID=3&GETDOWN=false

  At the end of each step, see if the slideshow works. This will help find what question is the cause of your problem.

  If please post again and let us know if these measures have contributed to get your slideshow in screensaver running.

  Sincerely,

  Marilyn

• Problems in using images for screensaver - error preventing the slide show

  original title: problems in using images for screensaver

  I always enjoyed using my photos for a screen saver.  Now, I get the message "an error prevents the slideshow to play."  How can I find and fix the error?

  Hello

  Did you change your computer?

  I suggest you to follow the steps and check

  a. go toC:\Users\ \AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Photo Gallery\Pictures.pd4
  and rename "Pictures.pd4".

  It can also help to remove all the video of the target directory files, although the screen saver will play some video formats.

• an error message is displayed "an error prevents a slide show to play."

  an error message is displayed "an error prevents a slide show to play."
  What does that mean?

  Hello

  Not sure, but more often means that there is a problem with a file system involved in the process. Try this:

  Click Start, type CMD. Right click on the entry that appears in the menu and choose "Run as Administrator". Click on continue in the UAC prompt. From the command line, type:

  sfc/scannow

  and click to start. Let it run until the end (it may take some time), and then close the command prompt by typing "exit" and by striking and restart the system normally. See if that helps.

• "The administrator system has set policies to prevent this installation" error install Steam .msi program

  Hi, I am trying to install the Steam (http://store.steampowered.com/about/) software, and I can't seem to. The steam program is an .msi file, and unlike the programs .exe, when I click right there is no option to 'run as administrator '.

  According to the instructions I connected as the 'administrator' on my computer (it's one PC at home to the unique user ID is the ID of the admin), but every time I try to install it it stops with this message: "the system administrator has set policies to prevent this installation. I am running Vista.

  I tried Googling this issue, there seems to be a common problem for some, however, it doesn't seem to be a single solution (which does not require a degree in rocket science). I'm quite honestly only a basic computer user (I say this so you don't expect me to know how to get into the registry or anything exotic like that), so if you could help with instructions on how to fix this it would be much appreciated.

  By suggestion of Steam, I have updated my Microsoft Installer (4.5). This did not help.

  Thank you very much.

  Ah, I did it - did not work. The error message is actually a bit of a herring - turns out he can appear for a variety of reasons.

  Turns out that my gut wasn't about it being a registry problem... the MS Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable entries had broken somehow, preventing the installation of all instances of the same Windows install. Of course, most installers begin with MSVC Redist installation, that's why they were all fail. Fortunately, I didn't have to change the registry manually.

  I found a program on the Microsoft Download Center for help. Don't remember that actually was called but it is mainly to fix broken installations of MS Office (when they go to halfway, so there are entries in the registry, but the installation has not actually finished... so that windows will not let you install or uninstall). There just uninstall things correctly and released their registry keys. I zapped the entrance MSVC 2005 that has been there all my installers started working again!

  Fantastic.

  So yes, by sorry, that's probably all really confusing... was actually broken registry ultimately. Fixed by Googling for a few days. :)

  (1) I saw reports that this problem may be related

  (2) I've seen reports that could clarify the next steps
  until the question... Right click the library icon and
  Choose "Run as Administrator".

  (3) I copied the info from a tech forum on
  the net... I don't know if it works, but maybe it's
  worth a try:

  A. right click on Task Manager open the
  taskbar on the bottom of your screen and choosing
  The task in the menu Manager.

  B. click the tab process, along the upper part of the
  The Task Manager screen.

  C. in the process tab, select the corresponding button at the bottom
  left of the screen that says "show processes of.
  all users"and click on it. Click 'Continue' to the UAC
  the prompt that appears.

  D. the screen should turns off a moment, then
  back with much more than process listed. Click
  the "Command line" column to sort the list and
  Search:

  "C:\Program Files\Windows Media Player\wmpnetwk.exe"

  Read the description in the next section on:

  Windows Media Sharing Service reader network

  F. click on this process. Click the end «»
  Treat button"at the bottom right of the screen.
  Confirm 'End process' if necessary.

  You should now be able to save your changes to
  your photos normally. The bad news is that this
  should be performed whenever you start or restart Vista.
  And I don't know how to prevent the situation from
