How to purge the windows live photo gallery database of missing files
I recently moved most of my photos on a removable drive from SD. Of course, photo gallery can not find them and I can't point the Pb on a removable drive. Please tell us how do I purge the database of photo gallery of found files.
Might be interesting to try to rename the Photo Live
Gallery database file.
The "Pictures.pd4, .pd5 or .pd6' (according to
on the version of your photo gallery), database includes
inches and metadata and is located at the following
location.
C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\
Windows Photo Gallery\Pictures.pd4, .pd5.
or .pd6
The file ends with a advanced
Research of pd4 pd5 and pd6.
Reach... Start / Search / Advanced search.
Check the box... "include not indexed, hidden,
and the file system"enter pd4, pd5 pd6 in the
Name field
Rename the .pd5 .pd4 or pd6 file should
clean your library.
Try a click right/rename it... Pictures.OLD
If you are not satisfied with the results... you can
Delete the new file and rename the OLD file
Back to Pictures.pd4, .pd5 or .pd6.
Photo Gallery will return to what it was the first
time that you opened it. The gallery will have to re-
complete and you may lose some tags.

"print key" on the windows live photo gallery is hidden by the task bar, so I can't select it. How I choose it?
Resize your window by clicking Restore button (or the - and the X in the upper right corner of the window) and drag the window to the where you can see the "print" key. You can also minimize the window and drag it around.
Another thing you can do is to hold the CTRL key and press the letter P. It still works.
I hope this helps. Good luck.

I saw this question and answer:
http://social.answers.Microsoft.com/forums/en-us/w7files/thread/5c567ab1-208D-400D-9bce-0598d43a0574
but I think I have a more serious problem. In Windows 7 RC, when I plugged in my camera or insert a memory card, I could choose "import pictures and videos using Windows Live Photo Gallery", but in my new installation of Windows 7 RTM, on which I have installed Windows Live Photo Gallery, there is no "Import pictures and videos using Windows Live Photo Gallery" option allotted me in the list of Control Panel AutoPlay or on the AutoPlay pop-up that appears when I plug in a camera.
How can I get that back? Without this option, I have to go through the manual steps tedious to execute WLPG and manually choose to import from there and say what is my camera. It was much better under Vista and Win7RC when I had the simple auto play option.
My PC is running Windows 7 Professional 64-bit, but I also installed WLPG on two new computers Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit my parents, and they have exactly the same problem. Is this a known bug? Is there a solution?
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer!
Hello bitoclass,
Thank you for visiting the Microsoft answers Site.
The Windows Live Photo Gallery import Option is not available from the AutoPlay on x 64 systems. Try the underside of work around to see this option.

How to use the old version without getting rid of the new version of the photo gallery?
I look forward to continue to transfer my photos from this computer to my old machine to my editing.
You might not be able to use these features, because you haven't gotten to complete editing the page again,
Click on the photo you want to edit in any way,
And press the Enter key,
This will open the photo selected in the edition full edit where the toolbar is available, also listed is close file on the right end of it, by clicking on file close will take you back where you started.
Crop a photo is the only edition that you have to click twice
Time to start the process and once after finishing harvest so it will save the changes.
All other changes are to be saved after you click Close file, red eyes may also have one separate record other than close file.

http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/how-do-I-get-pictures-from-my-camera-to-my-computer"Why I can't choose the pictures to import? ."
Because Windows detects your newest pictures and doesn't matter the duplicate versions of the old photos that you've already copied to your computer, it is now easy to import your photos into the folder of photos in a single step. In addition, we recommend that you consult your pictures in Photo Gallery, where large previews make it easy to decide which newly imported imported pictures to delete from your computer. »

Windows detects your images and your most recent videos and is not a duplicate of the old photos or video versions that you have already copied to your computer, so you can import your pictures and videos in a single step. You can then view and organize your photos in the photo library. For more information on the management and organization of photos in the photo library, see Managing your photos.

Complex issue... but I'll try to offer some ideas.Data that cannot be rewritten on the photo files are archived in the
Windows Live Photo Gallery database owner (Pictures.pd5).
So... move the files may prevent access to the data.If you move the files to another computer, you may have some
moviing success the Pictures.pd5 file also.Sometimes data are not written back to the image files, because they
are read only... and sometimes it's because of the file format.Maybe the next thread will enlighten us:

Windows Live Photo Gallery - how to increase the limit of tag 1010 people on the search function
The search function in Windows Live Photo Gallery people tags seems to be an arbitrary limit of 1010 different tags (1000 in the alphabetical list + the 'Top 10'). Is there a way to get around this?
When I used the Vista Photo Gallery and my tags 'people' were just a subset of 'descriptive' tags that I created, I could find just a name on the left panel. Not sure why it isn't a section he tags in the version of Windows Live people. If you put arbitrary limitations on the functionality of Visual search 'whizz bang', it would be nice if there was a relief when it does not work.Is return to the starting point - maybe somewhere where the limit is stored in the registry and it can be increased or an another workaround?There is a forum for Windows Live products. Since your questions deal specifically with the Windows Live Photo Gallery witith, please repost in the following forum. You can also search any suggestions or solutions.

I lost all the images contained in the "my pictures" file on the hard drive. The files are there but when I open the files they are all empty. It's like some 50 folders and each folder contained about 25 or so images jpg. I lost the using the "windows live photo gallery» I found a thread that someone else has had this problem and only one answer was to check the checkbox 'Show hidden files'. I have done this no luck there. When I open "windows live photo gallery" all records are on the left of the window but empty. I did not send any of these files to the "trash". Can someone tell me how to recover these?
You ran the scanner of MS too? It will take some time, but it must be done. If a virus is responsible for it must be nuked before he can ravage any more.
Send all the pictures? You can still recover these - and get some help course in order to avoid this sort of thing. External hard drives and online storage are worth a small spending to protect valuable files. I also keep the dvd - outdated image files but enough fix if even they can deteriorate over time (but don't we all!)
Let us know if the scan MS lands anything - run the full scan - it will take time.
