My Windows Live Photo Gallery has been accidentally removed from

(continue from above) to my Vista computer as well as 2 000 images.  I found online that I had to load Windows XP Service Pack 2, before I could reinstall/restore my Windows Live Photo Gallery.  Why did you download an XP service pack 2 on a Vista computer.  Didn't want to screw up more than it already is?  Help please if anyone knows how I can recover my photo library program I would appreciate your help.  Thank you

Photo Gallery does not store the image files, it just reads the.  It's like a DVD player: give him the drive.

Even without Photo Gallery, all your image files is still in your photo folder (or anywhere where you keep your image files).

    No. Windows Photo Gallery comes with the Vista system. It cannot be uninstalled.
    It will coexist with Windows Live Photo Gallery. You just need to name one as your default programand leave the other alone.

  • Windows Live Photo Gallery has a save as option?

    With the help of the life of Windows Photo Gallery

    There is not a function "save under" in this program?

    I scan several photos at once in my computer and you need their harvest in separate images, but to lose the original image, when I try to save the cropped images.  I can't download HP Image Zone on Windows 7 and I can't use Microsoft Picture It either.  I am very frustrated with this new software.  I think that there is a function "save under" somewhere.

    The automatic backup in Windows Live Photo Viewer
    problems if you want to keep your
    for publishing more original image. A way
    around her is creates multiple copies of your
    original photo and change each of them. It's a real
    pain, but at least it works.

    Faststone Image Viewer freeware has
    a great crop tool and a save as option.

    (FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)
    Restore point before installing software or updates)

    FastStone Image Viewer
    http://www.FastStone.org/FSViewerDetail.htm
    (the download is: "FSViewerSetup44.exe")
    (choose site 2 for a more fast dowload)

    The info is how to crop a square, but it
    will give you an idea of how navigate through the program:

    Now, open the program and select (highlight)
    the image you want to change.

    Reach... Edit / crop Panel (or type... (X)

    Click on the button 'Set Ratios of paper'.
    (it's just to the right of the proportion of paper
    fall of window)

    Click on the 'Add' button and enter... 2 x 2 "
    Click on... OK / OKAY... (this will give you the square
    format you need)

    You can resize the selection frame by dragging
    reposition by dragging corner handles
    the arrow of the 4 channels. At the end... Click on the 'culture '.

    Now... to... File / save as...

  • Windows live photo gallery windows xp crashes on opening

  • Error 0 x 80070057 opening of Windows Live Photo Gallery

    Trying to open the Windows Live Photo Gallery, I get error code 0 x 80070057. I removed and re installed the program several times but still does not work. But it does not work on my other laptop. I'm on Windows 7 64 bit on all laptops.

    FWIW... Windows Live Photo Gallery has a database file
    which may be damaged. (uninstalling / reinstalling WLPG)
    does not affect this file)

    If you rename the file... it will force the photo gallery to create a
    new database file the next time, it is launched and the Gallery
    will be as it was the first time it was launched.

    I'm not positive that this will solve the problem you are dealing with
    But if you want to give it a try thefilename is... Pictures.PD6.

    Just rename it to OLDPictures.pd6. This can cause you to
    lose tags and metadata that are not rewritten on
    the photo files.

    The path to the file is:

    Windows\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\
    Windows Live Photo Gallery\Pictures.pd6

    Pictures.PD6 is a file... the following article explains
    How to show hidden files:

    Windows 7 - show hidden files
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/show-hidden-files

    If this does not improve the problem... you can delete the
    new file Pictures.pd6 and rename OLDPictures.p6 back to
    Pictures.PD6 and the gallery should be as it was before.

  • Fault of Windows Live Photo Gallery?

    I just edited a few photos in Windows Live Photo Gallery, and despite an economy of message is to save the changes, when I try and find the image, it has completely disappeared. This feature has always worked and I am devastated pretty that I can't find these aas images that they are for a college course. Any help would be appreciated. They are not in the trash.

    It is a XP forum... If you're running XP?

    In any case...

    This has been spread recently and is apparently related
    at McAfee. Mounting causes photos become hidden.

    The files are not missing... they are hidden.  Try changing the
    next parameter and the photos should reappear.

  • Windows live photo gallery screensaver just empty?

    Salvation for a few months now my screensaver windows photo gallery has just been going to blank it used to work and have done so for almost 2 years. I have redownloaded windows live photo gallery and still can't make it work, any help on this would be thank you very much.

    You have problems with any other screen savers (this is VERY important) - even the slide show normal ones (if if you can have a different and wider than just this one problem screensaver Live Gallery - post if it is the case that we need to try a few different options than those offered or maybe at least some additional options)?  Is Aero active and selected - if not available, do?  Now never works or sometimes work (tell you it turns off suggesting it starts OK and then fails - I need to know if this is the case, and on how long it works before going empty)?  When you test (I am not sure that you can test it but if possible, it works or does nothing happen)?  When you say he fails to tell you absolutely everything, nothing happens when selected (which means that you can not select it) or do you mean it is still not listed as an option or you want to say when it should light it does not activate (and if so, whatever it happens to all of the error messages) (, or whatever)?

    Go to start / Control Panel / administrative tools / Event Viewer and look for any screensaver errors or maybe photo gallery (it should be some if it is not enabled). Here's how to use Event Viewer: http://www.petri.co.il/vista-event-viewer.htm.  Look in the sections of the system and applications.

    I hope this helps to identify or solve the problem.  If this isn't the case, post back with the results, but if everything works fine (after trying the above) and there is no errors except this one screen saver, so we consult experts.

    Please repost your question in the Windows Live Photo Gallery or Forums portal at:http://windowslivehelp.com/product.aspx?productid=20.  First check to see if your question has already been answered or if none of the articles help.  If this is not the case, go to the Forum and post your question there.  Experts in the photo gallery will be happy to help you.

  • Windows Live Photo Gallery Codec Host and COM Surrogate stopped working. How do fix you this?

    When I try to use Windows Live Photo Gallery, the program opens, but then I get 2 two errors as shown below:

    (1), Windows Live Photo Gallery Codec Host has stopped working
    A problem caused the blocking of the program works correctly.  Please close the program
    (2) COM Surrogate has stopped working
    A problem caused the blocking of the program works correctly.  Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.
    One of the error messages suggested that I go to Windows Update to see if I could get a fix it.  I tried a few times, but no luck.
    I am running Windows Vista SP2 (32 bit) on a Gateway GM5474 computer.  I loved this machine and problems have been almost non-existent.  I set it up as a dual boot with Ubuntu Linux (11.04) machine as my other OS.  I'm not an expert, but I don't think it would affect the operation of this program, isn't it?
    I also wanted to mention that the creation of Windows DVD works as well, but I'll get some help on this and if I find anything, I'll go back to Microsoft Answers for help.
    I want to thank you in advance for your support.  I got the great help from you in the past.
    Sincerely,
