I can't open the photos in Windows Photo Gallery.

I recently downloaded a large file of pictures in Windows Photo Gallery (Windows Vista Home Premium).  The photos are in .jpg format and appear as thumbnails in the file in the Windows Photo Gallery.  When I try to open them, I get an error message that says (cannot open this file, the file appears to be damaged or corrupted.)  What can I do?

========================================
I'm guessing that you have downloaded pictures from your camera?

It is possible for the photos to be damaged if the camera
batteries are too low when they are downloaded.

I would try to download the photos again to another folder.
If you have an internal drive or external to use instead
connect the camera to the PC via a USB cable.

If you go to... Start / computer... the camera or media reader
must be recognized as a drive letter... you should be able to
copy and paste or drag and drop the pictures from there to a folder on
your hard drive.

If the pictures have been deleted from the memory card... the
following freeware may be able to recover.

  • Photo Gallery can't open the photo because you are not allowed access to the location of the file

    Photo Gallery can't open the photo because you are not allowed access to the location of the file some of the image are open

    Click on the folder and change your permissions for it and all subfolders and files all rights and if necessary take hand the case (and maybe the parent folder or even its parent - and all of the subfolders and files) until you have the permission you need.  Here are the general procedures to help you:

    To view your permissions, right-click on the file/folder, click Properties, and check the Security tab.  Check the permissions you have by clicking on your user name (or group of users).  Here are the types of permissions, you may have: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/What-are-permissions.  You must be an administrator or owner to change the permissions (and sometimes, being an administrator or even an owner is not sufficient - there are ways to block access (even if a smart administrator knows these ways and can move them - but usually should not because they did not have access, usually for a very good reason).)  Here's how to change the permissions of folder under Vista: http://www.online-tech-tips.com/windows-vista/set-file-folder-permissions-vista/.  To add take and the issuance of right of permissions and ownership in the right click menu (which will make it faster to get once it is configured), see the following article: http://www.mydigitallife.info/2009/05/21/take-and-grant-full-control-permissions-and-ownership-in-windows-7-or-vista-right-click-menu/.

    To resolve this problem with folders, appropriating the files or the drive (as an administrator) and give you all the rights.  Right-click on the folder/drive, click Properties, click the Security tab and click on advanced and then click the owner tab.  Click on edit, and then click the name of the person you want to give to the property (you may need to add if it is not there--or maybe yourself). If you want that it applies to subfolders and files in this folder/drive, then check the box to replace the owner of subcontainers and objects, and click OK.  Back and now there is a new owner for files and folders/player who can change the required permissions.  Here is more information on the ownership of a file or a folder: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/67717-take-ownership-file.html.  To add take ownership in the menu of the right click (which will make it faster to get once it is configured), see the following article: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/add-take-ownership-to-explorer-right-click-menu-in-vista/.

    Good luck and I hope this helps!

    Hi SergioAndrade60,

    Perform the control and analysis of file system (CFS) auditor if this solves the problem. SFC toolscans system files and replaces incorrect versions of system files by using the correct versions.

    For instructions, see How to use the tool File Checker system to troubleshoot missing or corrupted system files on Windows Vista or Windows 7 .

     
    If the link above does not solve the problem, I suggest you write the topic in the following forum.

    Hi ronaldvince,

    Thanks for posting in the Microsoft Community.

    In addition, how are you doing today?

    You have a problem with unable to run a program on Windows 7. This can be very frustrating for you, and I appreciate the efforts you have put in. Let us work together as a team and try to get this fixed number.

    We start with a few questions-

    (1) what exactly happens when you try to run the program?

    (2) that you get an error message or error code?

    (3) have you made changes on the computer before the show?

    I would like more information about the issue.

    Method 1-

    I recommend you perform the clean boot.

    Placing the computer in a boot minimum state helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem. You must perform the steps in the article-

    How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

    Note: You must follow the step 3 of the article to return the computer to a Normal startup after you perform all the troubleshooting steps.

    Check if the problem persists.

    Method 2-

    You must perform a system restore to undo changes made to your computer.

    View items-

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/products/features/system-restore

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/restore-system-files-and-settings

    Note: Perform a system restore will cancel all changes made previously on your computer. You may also lose unsaved information as well. Proceed at your own risk.

    Method 3-

    I would have you Uninstall and reinstall the program in compatibility mode and check.

    Check out the link-

  • The visible but the pictures can not open the photo in "Photos".

    I just realized that some of my photos are visible as thumbnails on my Mac, but I can't double click to view. Just a blank screen. Most of them seem to be more old photos, but it seems fairly random. I am under the last El Capitan, and all software are up to date. I ran a repair on the library, and nothing has changed.

    Suggestions?

    Thank you

    What has changed since things worked? Do you have 'cleaned' your disk by removing pictures using the finder or nasty as CleanMyMac or MacKeeper software (never do this)?
