Photo Gallery cannot find the folder

Lately, photo gallery began by telling me that it cannot find a file.  The message box does not disappear, and I can not close the program.  He wants to find a location that is removable, and I can't seem to find something on my computer.  It started to happen just after Christmas 2011 and to appear more often over time.  The strange thing is, I often work with images on an external hard drive and I get the same message, and I need to drag the image to my desktop before photo library will 'find' and open it.

    Photo Gallery - cannot save changes

    When you edit a photo, I get this message: "unable to save changes to this picture because library has encountered a problem." I tried various things I found online (several threads on this site as apparently others have experienced this too), but none of the ideas allowed. Here's the thing, it worked for years until now. Last week I played ignorance a little with my services, disabling some supposedly speeding up my computer and also played with my Start menu. I don't know that I've changed, however. Can any particular service being disabled cause this problem? Thank you and have a nice day.

  • cannot find the folder "program data".

    original title: New Data - Program for Windows 7

    I just bought a new computer with windows 7.  I am trying to install programs, for example, installing a program to C:\program data\Quantum.  I go to 'my computer' and can not find the folder "program data".  Is it possible that windows is hide it?

    Sandy

    Hi Sandy

    The program data file replaced the all users in previous versions of Windows.

    Open Windows Explorer. Click on organize / folders and Search Options / View tab.

    Select the option Show hidden files, folders and drives, and then click apply/OK.

    Navigate to C:\Users. In this folder, you will see a folder named all users with a shortcut arrow or the layering of padlock. It is a symlink pointing to the ProgramData folder. Right-click on the folder and select properties to see this data.

    Your programs are not currently installed just for the ProgramData folder. This folder is used to allow any user (for all users) access to an installed program that allows any user to operate this program.

    Many times, when you install a program, you will see an option to install the program for the current user only, or to install for all users.

    Another way, you can see it is to click on the Start button, right-click on all programs, and select open all users. This will open Windows Explorer to the

    C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu folder.

    Let us know if you have any other questions.

  • Cannot find the folder to import?

    Hey,.

    I tried to import a complete record of the television series and the movie I had on my old library iTunes from another PC. But when I import the file after loading nothing to happen. I pick up on communities, but it seems that it was never answer so I'll see if someone who is activity now knows what is happening and how to solve the problem. If you need information just ask. Thank you!

    Of

    Michael

    Video files that are imported into iTunes can be presented in movies > Home Videos. If you can locate them here then you can change the media type. Is there a reason that iTunes does not like the format of the files, then there will be no error message when you try to import them. Falls copies in the automatically add to iTunes folder. Everything that iTunes rejects will be moved into a folder that is not added. You will not know the reason, but you will know at least for some iTunes is rejecting the media rather than ignorant.

  • Satellite A300-247 cannot find the folder of HARD disk recovery

    Hello
    I tried to reinstall my Vista home premium on my Satellite A300-247. I have buit - in the OS. I did it axactly according to manual (reboot - F8 - repair your computer-...) When I clicked on Toshiba HDD recovery system recovery tools wrote me this:

    "the recovery of the operating system is impossible
    File recovery HARD drive on the second disc of the first hard drive not found.
    There is no environment recovery valid HARD drive on this computer. "

    I would like to ask what do I do reistall my OS. I have no disk with OS and backup disc creation tool does not work.
    Y at - it an option to get my OS on DVD from Microsoft or Toshiba?
    If I use this tool to reinstall the OS, I will loss all the information on the D drive (Vista is on the C drive)

    Thanks for the reply

    Hello

    Seems that drive HARD recovery does not work.
    Perhaps something has changed on the recovery of HARD drive partition or recovery files has been deleted

    Usually it s always advisable to create a recovery disk in a first time. This should be done at the beginning and this recovery disk is always useful if something would go wrong with drive recovery HARD or with HARD drive

    Now, you can't get the phone because you don t have this drive and the HARD drive does not work

    What to do?
    Well, I think that you would need new control disc.
    You can do so here:

  • photos went to the Gallery of photos, but not in the folder of photos, why?

    When I downloaded my photos from my camera SD card in my computer photos went just to the photo gallery, not to the folder of photos.  This is why when I try to send pictures via my gmail account I gives me only the choice of the photos in the pictures folder.  How can I get these photos in the photo gallery images folder?  I'm using vista Home premium and I've never had this problem before.

    Thank you, for some reason any, he went to my folder of Tasmania.  Now, I found the photos how to make them out of this file and in another file?

    Select (highlight) all the photos you want to move.

    Right-click on the selected group and from the menu, choose copy.

    Navigate to the folder you want the files saved in and right click / Paste.

    Once you are "positive" that the files are copied safely in the new location
    You can delete them from the previous location.

  • Restore failed image because of the message error "system cannot find the specified file (0 x 80070002). Is my file of the backup OK folder structure?

    I had to reinstall clean Windows 7 64-bit because of the failure of the RAID 1. I have a picture of my original installation system, but I can't restore it; everything I try, I get the message "system cannot find the specified file (0 x 80070002).  I work through a number of possible solutions, without success so far.

    According to the kb/951002 (that is for Vista but I can't find an alternative for Win 7) I made sure that the SYSTEM account has read permission for the backup folders and subfolders.  However, the file structure of the specified in the above article backup folder is different from my image file structure.  Specifically, article specified a structure of 'N.zip' file for the backup files but mine are a mixture of XML documents and VHD - i.e. no "zip" files Also, my GlobalCatalog file does not what kind of file, for example, it wouldn't ".wbcat" required file type specified in the article.

    The differences above could explain the inability to restore the image and if so, any ideas on what to do about it?

  • Windows wil lnot open pictures says windows cannot find the file (photos were recorded he said before that)

    Windows will not open photos says windows cannot find the file (photos have been saved he previously said)

    Thank you

    Hello

    I imagine the inconvenience that you are experiencing and will certainly help you in the right direction to solve the problem. However, I would be grateful if you could answer a few questions to refine the question in order to provide you with better assistance.

    1. Form when you try to open pictures? Is it in Photo Viewer?
    2. What type of files you are trying to open?
    3. You are able to open the photos in the Photos App?
    4. What is the brand and model of the computer?
    5. You did changes to the computer before this problem?

    I suggest you to try the steps below and see if it helps you to solve the problem.

    Method 1: Run the utility to search and index and check.

    a. press the Windows key + X and click on Control Panel.

    b. click on Troubleshooting.
