Error trying to open .jpg from an SD card image using Windows Photo Gallery: this file format is not supported, or you do not have the latest updates of photo gallery

Vista - Photo Gallery

Tried to upload a .jpg from an SD card image (the image was scanned with a Pandigital Photo converter, slide, negative (model # 05 PANSCN).) This message appeared in the photo gallery, "Photo Gallery can't open this photo or video. This file format is not supported, or you do not have the latest updates to the photo gallery. "I inserted the SD card even in a HP Photosmart C6280 printer; the printer has recognized the file and print the photo. The converter from Pandigital is useless unless the Vista updates can 'cure' photo gallery. What do you, Microsoft?

=====================================
Just one question... when done scanning and recording of the scans...
you select the options to reduce the file size by compressing
the photos?

If you have only a few of these scans... you could open their
one at a time in Windows Paint and go to... File / save as...
Enter a new name, choose a backup folder and choose .jpg.
This will create a new version of the same photo and I suspect
It will be compatible with Windows Photo Gallery.

Also... it may be interesting to try to install Windows Live Photo Gallery.

(FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)
Restore point before installing software or updates)

Download Windows live Photo Gallery
http://explore.live.com/Windows-Live-Photo-Gallery
(There are other applications included in the download...
Uncheck the ones you don't want)

No guarantee... but there is a possibility that reinstall
DirectX can improve this problem.
