I can't open the items saved in the Windows Photo Gallery

• I have just upgraded to Windows 7. We had all our photos in Windows Photo Gallery. Where are they? can we recover the Windows Photo Gallery?

  I just installed Windows 7 and I can't find the pictures I had in Windows Photo Gallery.  Where are they?  Is there a way I can still use the Windows Photo Gallery?

  Thanks for answer and sorry for not noticing that you have had so far.  Actually, I solved my problem by editing the registry and by associating file types .jpg and .jpeg image.  I think that the Viewer Windows Live Photo or other software that I installed messed up file associations and caused Media Center does not recognize files .jpg and .jpeg as an addition to the type library.

  I changed the settings in the registry as follows:

  1. under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT, navigate to the key named .jpeg
  2 change the (default) string value so that the data field is "jpegfile" (without the "")
  3. Add a new string value named: 'Content Type' and together the data field "image/JPEG" (once again without the "")
  4. Add a new string value named: "Type perceived" and together the data in the field in 'image '.

  Do the same steps above for the key under HHKEY_CLASSES_ROOT .jpg

  I don't remember if I needed to restart the computer or not for the changes to take effect.  I solved this by trial and error because I remembered having to add the same entry in the Media Center in Vista type to get files .mp4 playing in the video library.

• I can't load the windows photo gallery, I get the error 0x800700c1 and WLXPhotoLibraryMain.dll

  ===========================================
  It is possible that data owners library.
  base is corrupted.

  Uninstalling and reinstalling PG does not update the database...
  It must be manually renamed or deleted.

  If you rename the file... it will force the photo gallery to create a
  new database file the next time, it is launched and the Gallery
  must be as it was the first time, it was launched and the
  Gallery should be re-populated.

  I'm not positive that this will solve the problem you are dealing with
  with, but if you want to try the file name is...
  Pictures.PD6. If you have the latest version of Photo
  Gallery... the file may be named Pictures.PD7... I'm not
  some... but the steps would be the same.

  Just rename it to OLDPictures.pd6. This can cause you to
  lose tags and metadata that are not rewritten on
  the photo files.

  The path to the file (in Windows 7) is:

  Windows\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\
  Windows Live Photo Gallery\Pictures.pd6

  (Sorry, but I'm not sure of the path in WIndows 8 but if you)
  do a search for PD6 PD7, you should be able to find it.

  Pictures.PD6 is a file... the following article explains
  How to show hidden files:

  Windows 7 - show hidden files
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/show-hidden-files

  If this does not improve the problem... you can delete the
  new file Pictures.pd6 and rename OLDPictures.p6 back to
  Pictures.PD6 and the gallery should be as it was before.

  If the result is not satisfactory... you can delete the new PD6
  folder and rename it back to an old Pictures.PD6 and the
  Gallery should be as it was before the change.

  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.

  On the 2nd computer when I open an image it will open the Windows Photo Gallery in an index with thumbnails of the displayed record.  How can I change so that it opens the same thing as the first computer?

  I did the following on both computers; Right-click on the image and select open with...--> choose the default program--> go--> Program Files, Windows Photo Gallery, but it will be open always differently on computer 2.

  Both computers use Windows Vista 32-bit.

  Thanks in advance.

• error message when you try to print from the windows photo gallery

  I can't print the Windows Photo Gallery photos: failure of the Document to print - load plain paper.  I reloaded paper, updated printer drivers and called Dell technical support, who said it was a software isue since I can print other documents as well as photos from Photoshop Elements. I get the same message when I try to print from painting and the image viewer. Looks like a problem of microsoft.
  My printer is Dell V515w and is 4 months old.
  Even if I can use Photoshop Elements, it is easier to use the Windows Photo Gallery.  Any ideas?

• How can I get the tags on the Windows Photo Gallery to attach the photo file?

  In the past, I had problems with the tags disappear as if by magic of my photos after many hours of their entry.  A few years ago I tried, as a measure of precaution, to make the files read-only and eliminate a bunch of change permissions, thinking that might prevent data disappear.  (FYI: it didn't.)  Anyway, recently I have been seized all the tags through the Windows Photo Gallery (mistake #1).  Only problem was, I don't remember I had changed permissions (error #2).  I have since reset the permissions, but now I have a bunch of pictures with labels WPG, but not in the files themselves, and I know from experience that it will be a mistake to keep it like that.

  So the question is this: How can I transfer the WPG tags only to the photo files themselves?  (Please tell me that there is an easy way...)

  Hi mysteryg45,

  You can try to re - mark photos & check if the problem persists.

• Error unknown 0x88982F50 when you try to change the properties of a JPEG file in the Windows Photo Gallery

  I am running Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack1 and use Windows Photo Gallery to managemy photos. I like the fact that I can integrate tags and ratings in JPEG files.

  I just noticed though, that the tag is no longer to be stored in the JPEG file. I know because when I saw the properties of the file tag information I have in the Windows Photo Gallery is not present. If I try to change the properties directly, I get an error message stating:

  An unexpected error prevented the operation. Make a note of this error code, which might be useful if you get additional help to resolve this problem: 0x88982F50 error: No. Error Description available.

  I checked the file isn't read-only etc.

  I searched Microsoft.com for this error and have found no help. I searched the internet and have seen many forums to raise this issue, but I can't find a solution.

  Note that when I try to fix an image in Windows (eye of harvest/red etc.) Photo Gallery, I also get an error that says I can't save the changes.

  For me, it looks like a component is faulty or missing, but how is it resolved?

  Hi RealPaulus,

  Solution for error 0x88982F50:
  1 open the Task Manager by right-clicking the taskbar
  the bottom of your screen and choose the task manager of
  the menu.

  2. click on the processes tab, along the upper part of the task
  Manager screen.

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

  4. the screen should turns off a moment, and then return with
  many more listed processes. Click on the column "command."
  Line"to sort the list and search for:

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

  Read the description in the next section on:

  Windows Media Sharing Service reader network

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

  6 perform the steps 1-5 before opening a Windows Explorer
  window for the first time in the current session.

  Eliminate that a will of the Task Manager process
  Restore Windows Explorer ability to 'see' as well as
  'Add', 'remove' or 'edit' Tags or other properties to a file to
  JPEG files.

  picture messaging and video

  Hi kstormu812,

  Welcome to Microsoft answers forums!

  I would like to know the following information to help focus in the right direction.

  a. don't you make changes to the computer before this problem?

  b. don't you make changes to the windows photo gallery settings?

  c. What is the exact error message and error code?

  d. you are able to see other images saved on the computer with no problems?

  e. What is the file format of the photos or videos?

  If you have a third party photo editing software, try removing it and see if that will help.

  Note: Please try this step only if you can recover the program.

  Gallery Photo will show images with any of these file types:

  ·         BMP, JPEG, JFIF, TIFF, PNG, WDP

  If Windows Movie Maker is installed, photo library will also play videos in these types of files:

  ·         ASF, AVI, MPEG, WMV.

  If you view files, that are other than the files listed above, you will need to convert them to the format mentioned above.

  Click the Start button > right side, click on the photos.

  Now, the pictures that you received in the mail came as attachments?
  If so, and assuming you are using Windows mail...
  Right-click on the "trombone" (attachment) > click on save attachments > place you in the folder of your choice (the destination where the photos will be saved in) > click Save.
