Movie Maker and photo gallery will not open

I can't open Windows Movie Maker and photo gallery. Whenever I try to open one of the two, the computer is 'think' for a few seconds, but then stops, the spinning wheel disappears and nothing is really happening. I don't get any error message at all. My computer is Lenovo T510 and the operating system is Windows 7 Pro (64 bit). Help, please.

  • I can't uninstall/reinstall Windows Live Movie Maker and photo gallery!

    Well, I need recently the Movie Maker for editing stuff. I looked at theStart > all programs list but is not there. Yet once I downloaded the Windows Live Essentials, but it says I already have Windows Movie Maker on my computer. The thing is that I can't find anywhere on my computer (or maybe it's there, I just don't know how to find it). I also tried opening appwiz.cpl and checked Windows Movie Maker and photo gallery, but the entries are not there. So I can't proceed with the following steps in Microsoft Help Tutorials.

    If anyone can help me uninstall/reinstall the Movie Maker? Step by step, perhaps?

    Thank you!

  • Photo Gallery Windows and Windows Live Photo Gallery will not open

    Windows Photo Gallery does not open. This happened after trying to import images. Photo Gallery does not recognize the old photos so it would import duplicates, so I kept cancelling the process. Now it does not open. The blue circle goes as it will open up and then nothing happens. I downloaded Windows Live Photo Gallery, and it opens either. I have Windows Vista Home Premium version 6. On rare occasions, the gallery will open. What can I do? I read in this forum to rename the file, but it does not work. I did a system restore and that doesn't work anymore. Someone knows what can be done?

  • Photo Gallery will not open picture

    After screwing around upgrading to windows 10 and then find that it did not some of the things that I assumed that it would report to Windows 7, I went back to Windows 7.

    I just now tried opening a photo gallery file (not open for a long time prior) that has been in my computer has always been initially created on/with Photo Gallery, and I'm now greeted with this message:

    "Photo Gallery can't open this photo or video.  This file format is not supported or you do not have the latest updates of photo gallery"

    What is going on?  How can I get the latest updates to the photo gallery to see if this is the solution I'm looking for?

    I'd install fresh from http://get.live.com.

    All Windows 7 is indeed postponed to 10 Windows, it's just not by default.  For example, after having upgraded the default image program could change with the new application, but you can always switch to the viewer of Windows 7. But that applies to all parts of it.  You can do basically Windows 10 stay exactly like 7 If you want to. Example:

  • Photo Gallery will not open the zip file

    Hi all

    Someone sent me an email with 5 photos inside zip file.  I downloaded the attachment and open the file with photo gallery.  I watched all 5 images successfully.  When I tried to turn one of the pictures I noticed the button to rotate the image was gray.  I also noticed that the Photo Gallery menu everything is gray.  I closed the library and tried the process again.  Now all I get is the error response "Photo Gallery can't open this photo or video.  The file format is not supported, or you do not have the latest updates. "I tried to download it from the email once again, but just keep getting the same error response.  I can't open the zip file AT ALL and have no idea what to do.  I also tried Picasa to open the file, but here, the answer is "invalid image".  I'm sorry to say that I'm a novice on the actual technical stuff so go easy on me please :)  Thanks in advance for any help.

    Yes, I double click on the file and looked at the pictures.  Now, if I double click on I just get the error message.

    =====================================
    Double click on a zip file it will open but do not unzip.

    Two things to try:

    (1) slide the photos out of the file compressed in a new folder.

    (2) make a right-click the folder zipped and in the menu... Choose... Extract all.

  • Windows Vista Photo Gallery will not open .jpg on desktop but in a folder on the desktop - why?

    I use vista and if I put a .jpg on the desktop image I open it with any normal program 'open with', with the exception of the Windows Photo Gallery.

    If I create a folder on the desktop and then to move the image in the folder it opens very well as usual.  I logged as a different user on the same computer to test if this office was undergoing the same wierdness.  These are the works very well as it is supposed to.  Accordingly, I find that there are some bad configured "widget" on my main desktop of the user to open the image files automatically when they are on the desk.

    How to restore the default double click of the image so this Windows Photo Gallery it opens on the desktop?

    OK, I found the reason and the solution.  I want to thank myself to resolve this weird behavior of Vista

    the problem occurs because a URL (web link), you have on the desktop is too long.  something like a link to google maps for example or something else Street which is more then 64 characters is originally the Gallery windows to screw up.  Why these two files different, sitting on the desktop may be related, I don't know, but they are.

    find the link that is the author of the offence and delete or move elsewhere and out of your office and bingo!  your desktop image viewer works again.

    HOW TO FIX:
    I found the easy long url because there were only a few links on my desk so if you have a lot and you are not sure which one is, simply create a folder called 'junk url' and move all web links in this directory.  Now, you will see that your office is working again as it should so that you know that one of those that you moved is bad.  Now, to pull everyone out, one at a time on your desktop and keep stable your .jpg image to see if it considers the image.  One of these URLS will begin his shows do not and when you check the properties of this url, you will see that it is a super long address.  One who is bad - get rid of him and now your fixed.

  • Laterally, IPhone video clips will play in WMP, rotate using Live Movie Maker and the file will not play on WMP

    It is perhaps one of the most common glitches in WMP, but MS is so confused, there is no solution (codec) to set the Iphone vids vertically in WMP.

    When you follow the web tutorials to rotate the clip using Live Movie Maker, it records the video to the format .wlmp that won't play in WMP.  So if you try to publish a movie there no option but send on Youtube or add Codec, which opens a page of gibberish, or when you try to save the film each option results in error "the device is not ready".

    If a guru of SevenForums cannot browse this intuitive nonsense, how millions of average users who find WMP plays videos of the Iphone on the side, while MS allows their ignorant WMP like some stubborn dinosaurs blunder?

    Hello

    This behavior can occur if the video was recorded in landscape mode.  You can see the link given below the similar question.

    How can I recover the files and programs before a system restore?  my document folders are all empty and my programs will not open!

    I know they are there and hidden somewhere, but this restoration took my settings of the computer to 2004! We lost all our data, our software that we use to operate our company at home, our quickbooks that has all our financial data, family photos, videos, Outlook will work not so no e-mail, all turned in time and 6 years ' worth of documents have disappeared.

    What happeneded was that I was trying to upgrade to quickbooks software when I got an error, I cancelled out of the facility, then restarted and that's when I got an error hal.dll something? I thought about a system restore would allow me to go back in time to just before when the error occurred, but he basically took my computer back to factory settings, so all the programs that I installed and paid hundreds of dollars for the past six years has disappeared, Microsoft Office and very expensive construction estimating software that we wil have to pay once AGAIN for If I can't get this program working properly.

    I am a fool! I can't believe what's happening.

    Someone at - it instructions on how I can retrieve either the programs and data that I need specifically or how to go and seek shade from the files I read online on and restore my computer for about 12 hours ago?

    Thank you all!

    Looks like you did a system rather than a system restore recovery.  If you have inserted a disc supplied with your machine and booted from it, you probably erased the disc and installed the original operating system provided with your computer.  Usually, a step in this recovery is to do a full format or quick of your drive.  If you did a full format, your data is permanently lost.  With a quick format, your data may still be there, somewhere but inaccessible by normal means.  Applications must generally be installed, in order to recover the files probably will not help unless you have the original installation media.  Your other data files (images, videos, financial data) may be salvageable, but at this point, it would be advisable to take your computer or your disk to a business/professional who is experienced with data disc recovery.  It will be cheap and there is no guarantee.

    Impatient, remember investigate you a backup strategy for your computer and critical data.  Hard drives can go wrong with little or no warning.
