How to change Windows Photo Gallery to be default for images of the camera?

Similar Questions

• My Windows Photo Gallery has incorrect time for good that my computer is correct. I know how to change the time, but wanted the exact time is displayed automatically when you scan photos etc as before.

  Time is incorrect in Windows Photo Gallery and I would like to do this automatically scanned early for photos instead of my change time.

  Hi Sardai,

  Unfortunately, this information is not always accurate. If you took some of your pictures in a different time zone, for example, the time recorded for these pictures could be incorrect by several hours. The camera can also be set to the wrong date and time. Or, if you're scanning photos, ta date will reflect the date that they have been digitized, not the date on which they were taken. All these anomalies can be adjusted manually.

  To change the date or time

  1. open Windows Photo Gallery by clicking on the Start button, all programs, and then clicking Windows Photo Gallery.

  2. If you do not see the details on the side of the window pane, click information on the toolbar to display it.

  3. click on the image you want to change.

  1. to select more than one picture, hold down the CTRL and click each picture you want to change.

  4. click on the date at the top of the details pane.

  5. click on the arrow next to the date and then click the correct date on the calendar.

  6. click on the time at the top of the details pane.

  7. Select the correct time.

   

  To adjust the time for pictures taken in a different time zone

  1. open Windows Photo Gallery by clicking on the Start button, all programs, and then clicking Windows Photo Gallery.

  2. right click on the image you want to change and then click on change time taken.

  To select more than one picture, hold down the CTRL and click each picture you want to change, and then click a picture when you are done.

  3. in the change to box, type the number of hours to change, or click the up or down arrow to select the number of hours. To make the new start time, type a minus sign (-) before the number.

• How to uninstall Windows Photo Gallery or Windows Live Photo Gallery

  I have both programs on my computer laptop Vista Home premium. The space is essential and I need to get rid of one of them - I would rather uninstall WPG. However, I failed to find a way to do it. The program does not appear in Control Panel and I searched for an answer without success so far. Can anyone help please.

  Hello

  While no program takes up a lot in terms of space, there are limits. Windows Photo Gallery is a native component of Vista, there is no option to uninstall. You use either it, or you don't. Windows Live Photo Gallery is a component of the suite of live software and must appear in the control panel of configuration/programs and features for removal.

  If space is at a premium, there are better solutions:

  (a) get a drive bigger and transfer the installation. It's the best solution because it definitely eliminates the real problem.

  (b) not to store the data files on the hard drive, use a flash drive or external.

  (c) reduce the amount of space allocated to system restore (default is 15%) with the VSS command utility. Good luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Crazy" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com Windows help - www.rickrogers.org

• Windows Photo Gallery can not open desktop image files

  When I double click on an image file on the desktop, nothing happens.  When I right-click and choose Preview, it does nothing. also, if I choose open with: Windows Photo Gallery, nothing.

  e. to find the program that is causing the problem, try "step 2: enable half the services" to "step 6: resolve the problem.

  Windows Photo Gallery.  How can I change the settings in the Windows Photo Gallery to automatically open the image without going to the index first?

  Additional information: there are 2 computers that I use on the first Gallery Photo of Windows will open the image and allow me to use the left and right buttons to scroll through the rest of the photos in the folder, that's what I want.

  Hi John,.

  Thanks for the quick response!  After that, I tried the reallocation of photo gallery Windows Live as the default application for photo files.  So when I saw your response, I followed it for Windows Live.  I don't understand what you mean by "you'll have to recataloguer."  I changed the name of the file, and then open the photo gallery, according to the instructions.  But shortly after a stop too it (a few minutes with 'Live,' immediate versus with regular photo gallery).

  What I started to do, is try to copy old photos from a CD on this relatively new computer.  They would not copy.  Then I tried to select 'Import pictures' rather than 'open folder '.  That's when I noticed the problem with the photo gallery Windows stops immediately.  It seems to be the same problem another user has pointed out - Data Execution Prevention stops the program.  But I can not turn off DEP for library - it will not allow him.  I tried an update, or a DEP-compatible version, but found none.

  Here's a maybe stupid question: can I just move to another photo application?  Aren't my files always in there somewhere, accessible by another application?  Or am I totally off base regarding how it works?

  Thanks for the ideas!
  Veronica

  ===============================================
  New catalogue means when you rename or delete the .pd4 file... your Photo
  Gallery will return to the way it was the first time that you opened. The
  Photo Gallery will fill again.

  It may be interesting to try to uninstall Windows Live Photo Gallery (you can not
  uninstall Windows Photo Gallery). And if it is a recent issue... it can be
  worth a try to restore the system to an hour before it began.

  Yes you can use another software... IrfanView, Picasa and FastStone Image
  Spectator got three which may be worth a try (all free).

  Your photos are probably in your pictures folder.

  Good luck.

  Delete several files of Windows Photo Gallery, their titles, however, remain.  How to eliminate unwanted titles?

  No guarantee... but if you try to clean
  and again... the following info may be useful:

  Vista Database photo gallery...

  The 'Pictures.pd4' database includes thumbs
  and metadata and is located at the following location.

  (depending on your version of Windows Photo Gallery
  the database could be Pictures.pd4 or pd5 pd6.)

  C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\
  Windows Photo Gallery\Pictures.pd4 or pd5 pd6

  The database is a file... you will need to
  Change the following setting:

  The file ends with a advanced
  Search for pd4 pd5 and pd6.

  Reach... Start / Search / Advanced search.

  Check the box... "include not indexed, hidden and"

  Renaming or deleting the .pd4, pd5 or pd6 file should

• Windows Photo Gallery: changing/deleting profiles from scanning?

  In Windows Photo Gallery, I can go to 'File' > 'import from camera or Scanner... ". "> Select the scanner to import from > to the"New Scan"select a scanning profile.

  Problem: There is the option 'add profile... '. "for the drop down profile, but not visible in the way to remove or modify existing profiles. I looked into some Options and properties I could find in the Windows Photo Gallery, but nothing comes of these profiles.

  I can't add a new profile with the same name as an existing profile. So, this led to a bunch of useless profiles which can be removed and confusing things. Very annoying.

  Hey Monimonika,.
  I had the same problem, but found the answer. I use Windows Vista.

  If you go to control panel and open "Scanners and cameras", you select your scanner and then click on the button "Scan Profiles. This allows you to change the existing profiles and even reset what is the default value.

  Hope this helps (although long after you have submitted your question).

  Good luck

• I can't open the .jpg files from the desktop using "Windows Photo Gallery" as the default program. They open normally from nowhere elsewhere, but not directly from the desktop. No error, nothing happens.

  If I right click 'open with' open with other programs like IE but not "Windows Photo Gallery". It is not a specific .jpg file, this is all .jpg files. For example... I have a .jpg file in a folder on my desktop, open folder double click, it will open in the "Windows Photo Gallery". Copy and paste the SAME file on the desktop, double-click on, nothing happens. I tried to restart, change the default value of IE, open the file, it opens, by default change to "Windows Photo Gallery" doesn't work... I am confused?
