• Cannot open a pictures using Windows Photo Gallery

  BAD WINDOWS PHOTO GALLERY!

  My Windows Photo Gallery says it cannot open the image because it is used by another program? I'm trying to save some pictures of fotoflexer, he saves but the pic appears blank in the folder when I try to see...

  1. I don'thave open other programs

  2. I can see the other images that are saved on my computer

  Can someone help me with this problem? I had no trouble using windows photo gallery it any other time so far...

  Hi MsNesha,
   
  What is the exact message you get?
   
  As the message States, it could be used by fotoflexer. A probability is, after you have changed the images that you would not have saved it in fotoflexer.
   
  Close the fotoflexer application after you save the photos and then try to view the photos edited in Windows Live Photo Gallery.
   
  If the problem persists, you can remove (delete) the photos published of fotoflexer and then make a folder and paste and he discovers via the Windows Photo Gallery.

  =====================================
  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

• Unable to print only one page in a multiple page / image tiff file using Windows Photo Gallery

  IT seems that for Windows Vista Photo Gallery is able to display multiple images in a TIFF file format when printing, but it does not select the image to be printed. Whenever I print a tiff image file two pages to print.  Since most of my photos are in TIFF format, and each contains two images one by one another at a reduced resolution and normal resolution I'm only interested in printing the first image and not the second.  I really don't want to convert all my photos in a different format.  Does anyone know if there is a setting to fix this?

  Hi KKosin

  Welcome to the Microsoft Vista answers Forum!

  I suggest measures are:

  1. try to print the image in MS Paint, steps to follow:

  i. Click Start, in the search box, type in the paint

  II. open the document to print

  III. click on print and check

  2. change the format of an image file and check if this problem is still happening. You can change the type of file to the JPEG/JPG format. Steps to follow:

  i. right click on the file type

  II. select Rename

  III. the extension .jpg or .jepg replace

  IV. and then try to print

  Hello

  These could work and be sure to check with the manufacturer of the camera for other options.

  Use another program like the default binding for the types of files instead of the Windows Photo Gallery.

• why I can't download the update... nothing happens

  I get the message to be transferred to the new security feature, but it does not work. It is the third or fourth time that I asked this question and did not always receive a response.

• 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,

  1 open the Task Manager by right-clicking the taskbar

• I try to print from Windows Photo Gallery. Put the print job in the queue, but does not print.

  I try to print a photo directly from the Windows Vista Photo Gallery. The task appears in the print queue and says he is "sent to printer", but prints never. I can print from other programs. I tried to reinstall my printer driver but no problems. My printer is a Dell 946. Any ideas?

  Hi DElizabethB,

  1 when was the last time you were able to print using Windows Photo Gallery?
  2. did you of recent changes on the computer?

  Method 1

  It is possible that some third-party photo editing software installed on the computer is in conflict with the printing process.

  I suggest that you check if the Windows Photo Gallery is set as default program for opening images on the computer.

  1. open default programs by clicking the Start button, click default programs.
  2. click on set your default programs.
  3. in the framework of programs, click the Windows Photo Gallery, and then click set this program as default.
  4. click on OK.
  5. check if printing works.

  Method 2

  It is possible that some settings for the printer are incorrect, run the fix tool available in the link below and check if it works.

  Solve printer problems
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/troubleshoot-printer-problems

  Method 3

  It is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer are in conflict with the printing process.
  I suggest you perform the clean boot procedure and check.

  To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows Vista by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  See the link below to learn more about how to clean boot.
  How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

  Reset the computer to start as usual
  When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:
  1. click on Start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.
  2. If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click continue.
  3. on the general tab, click the Normal startup option, and then click OK.
  4. When you are prompted to restart the computer, click restart.
