• 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.

• 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.

• Creating a PDF file from the screen printing on Windows Photo Gallery

  I need to print to PDF from Windows Photo Gallery - specifically the contact sheet

  Do I need to have something put in place in the printer section to do this?  like to convert it to the PDF format

  Hello k. Hilger,.

  The Windows Photo Gallery does not read or open the PDF files.

  The best way to print PDF files is as you say, take a snapshot using the screen printing screen.

  Save the file as .jpeg and then open with Windows Photo Gallery and you should be able to print it out.

  You may not make any changes to your printer.

  Thank you

  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.

• 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?

• Windows open not shortcuts to office or all .exe files. Rather 'Open with' window appears.

  If I try and open the shortcuts in office such as Mozilla Firefox or even Microsoft Paint, the "Open with" window appears and makes me choose what program to open it with. None of my .exe files will open directly, they make me choose what program to open it with. Some of them make me reinstall the program every time. Why my .exe files are messy?

  Hello

  Just in case there are persistent pieces of malware here is the method of complete elimination.
  .exe question difficulty in the next message.

  Try Mode safe mode with networking - repeatedly, press F8 that you start.

  The best two methods allow scanners to run and/or AV.exe out of the way or removing.

  1.
  CTRL SHIFT ESC - task manager OR right click on the taskbar - task manager

  Process tab - complete the process on AV. EXE and continue with the uninstall Guide.

  If necessary use start - computer or Windows Explorer to navigate to

  C:\Program Malwarebytes Anti - Malware\mbam.exe or where it is installed - if
  necessary right click on the shortcut of Malwarebytes - Properties - tab - target line to see where it
  is installed.

  Right-click on it and rename it to ZZMbam.COM (or something different than now) and
  Double-click it, and then run it like this. You can rename it back later. Do the same with
  other programs according to the needs. Use this method to others as needed - NOT assume all
  a program deletes all or that it is no other malicious software.

  ---------------------------------------------------

  2.
  Another method is to use them:

  Use Process Explorer to "Suspend" the process will not stop

  Then use AutoRuns to delete the malicious program startup items.

  Now use UnLocker to delete the files in the malware.

  You may need to do a file at a time.
