lost all the images contained in the "my pictures" file on the hard disk while using Windows Live Photo Gallery

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 I also keep the dvd - outdated image files but enough fix if even they can deteriorate over time (but don't we all!)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.

Best - R

    I lost all the games that came with windows vista and would like to know how to get them back is to say: hearts, spider, scanning of the spirit and others

    Hi JosephAdams,

    Did you the latest changes on the system?

    I suggest that you turn off the games feature in windows vista and re activate and check if it works.

    a. click the Start button, select Control Panel, click programs and then click turn on turn Windows features on or off. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    b. to turn a Windows feature, select the check box next to the set. To turn a Windows feature off, clear the check box.

    c. click OK.

    First you can disable the function of games using the method above restart the computer and turn on the games feature and check if it works.

    For more information, you can consult the following articles and see if it helps.

    Well when I transfer my videio and/or photos from my camera sd card, when the transfer images will open in Windows Live Photo Gallery with pictures showing as a large icon. My photos are stored on my HP-Pavilion(E:).) drive

    But after that when I click on the drive C: E: MyPictures they open as a flower tile.

    It was that all of my photos, at all times, remained as a large icon all the time. Something has changed this feature.

    Now I can go to the libraries, photos, My Pictures(E:) et cliquez sur n'importe quel dossier et le dossier s'ouvre avec les images dans ce dossier, montrant une image de grande icône.)

  • Windows live photo gallery: original photos lost the transfer to the new computer

    photos to the new computer, and the originals have not been transferred as im guessing they're saved in the software/program that cannot be transferred.

    If there is not a way to transfer original and edited photos to the new computer, is there a way to return all original with a single click, so that I can transfer the originals on my new computer?

    Thank you.

    Thank you, you saved my originals... I copy paste, but can not work how to connect my pictures changed to the originals so that I can click on my modified photos and click on 'back '.

    Thanks again

    ===========================================
    Sorry, but I don't have the exact solution for re - associate the
    originals with edited versions.  The only thing I would like to know
    to try would be to place the originals in the original Images
    folder on the new system.

    Maybe... I say just that maybe if you copied the photo gallery
    exclusive database of the old system and used it to replace
    the database on the new system. (Just copy and paste the file in)
    the appropriate on the new system folder, and when you see
    ... dialog box you want to replace? with? Select Yes.

    Also... you could instead of replace your new database...
    rename it... Pictures.OLD for example. So if the replacement
    do not re - associate files... you can remove the replacement
    and rename the OLD version in what it was and the Gallery
    must be as it was before the change.

    Depending on the version of your photo gallery might be the database
    Pictures.PD5, Pictures.pd6, Pictures.pd7...

    The path to the version of Win XP is:

    C:\Documents and Settings\ > user name<\Local>
    Application Data\Microsoft\Windows Live Photo Gallery\
    Pictures.PD4, Pictures.pd5 or Pictures.pd6

    Windows Vista:

    C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\
    Windows Photo Gallery\Pictures.pd4 or pd5 pd6

    Windows 7:

    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.

    The former article is a user experience
    with the shifting of the database... maybe it would offer a few ideas:
