  • Windows Photo Gallery, not able to display the pictures in mode full-screen widescreen

    Photo look an _

    Hello, I was wondering if someone could help me.  In the windows photo gallery when I choose to display my screen full of pictures, it only shows the mode full-screen widescreen.  Instead, they are centered in the middle with two black lines down on part of the photograph.  I would like the image to fit the full screen. Anyone know how I can get around this problem?

    Hi WildRavin,

    This happens because the resolution of the monitor screen does not match the dimension of the image.

    Try matching the dimension of the image and the screen resolution or lower the resolution of the monitor screen and correspond to the dimension of the image, and check the results.

    My computer has ceased to recognize drives of games like games, they are called the re-writable discs and will not give me the option to do something else that import photos or open files.

    I managed to install the game by going into the files and setting up manually, however the game refuses to play. This has never happened before, but seems to be perform two games, (a new game I am trying to install and an old, often played the game, which is no longer recognized).

    I'm not sure it's related, but this computer has a trojan virus not long ago who was a pain to get rid of. I'm sure it's over now, but I thought that it is preferable to include in the case where he shed light.

    I don't know what to do now. I've uninstalled and restarted the driver for the cd/dvd. This made no difference. Help, please.

    Thank you for your suggestions, but none of the above helped. I've fixed since the question.

    Thank God, the computer is a dell, I was able to live chat with their technicians and they walked me through different types of solutions until we found where the problem was.

    The computer if it not so long ago a trojan that messed with some of the readers leaving them unable to recognize media of any kind as something other than files to open. We had to do a clean install of the operating system, which was the heart break because there was a risk of losing anything we forgot to back up and took forever to completely reinstall all the drivers and software on the computer.

    The hard drive works fine now, we are relieved and grateful for all the help.

  • My Windows Photo Gallery has incorrect time for good that my computer is correct. I know how to change the time, but wanted the exact time is displayed automatically when you scan photos etc as before.

    Time is incorrect in Windows Photo Gallery and I would like to do this automatically scanned early for photos instead of my change time.

    Hi Sardai,

    Unfortunately, this information is not always accurate. If you took some of your pictures in a different time zone, for example, the time recorded for these pictures could be incorrect by several hours. The camera can also be set to the wrong date and time. Or, if you're scanning photos, ta date will reflect the date that they have been digitized, not the date on which they were taken. All these anomalies can be adjusted manually.

    To change the date or time

    1. open Windows Photo Gallery by clicking on the Start button, all programs, and then clicking Windows Photo Gallery.

    2. If you do not see the details on the side of the window pane, click information on the toolbar to display it.

    3. click on the image you want to change.

    1. to select more than one picture, hold down the CTRL and click each picture you want to change.

    4. click on the date at the top of the details pane.

    5. click on the arrow next to the date and then click the correct date on the calendar.

    6. click on the time at the top of the details pane.

    7. Select the correct time.

     

    To adjust the time for pictures taken in a different time zone

    1. open Windows Photo Gallery by clicking on the Start button, all programs, and then clicking Windows Photo Gallery.

    2. right click on the image you want to change and then click on change time taken.

    To select more than one picture, hold down the CTRL and click each picture you want to change, and then click a picture when you are done.

    3. in the change to box, type the number of hours to change, or click the up or down arrow to select the number of hours. To make the new start time, type a minus sign (-) before the number.
