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:

    Windows 7 Windows 10
  • Win Windows 7 photo viewer will not open the .psf files

    Windows Photo Viewer does not open. PSF files from Epson?

    Programs can recognize only the files they are supposed to use.

    In the case of the Windows Photo Viewer, the official documentation says that it can display the following types of files (although you can add a little more by installing one or more codecs- LINK):

    Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG)

    .jpg and .jpeg,

    Tagged Image File Format (TIFF)

    . TIF and .tiff

    Portable Network Graphics (PNG)

    .PNG

    Graphics Interchange Format (GIF)

    .gif

    Bitmap image

    .bmp and DIBs

    HD Photo

    . WDP

    Do you really mean PSF files?  As far as I can tell, a PSF file is probably an Adobe Photoshop proof Settings file.

    If you mean PDF files - which are outputs to any scanner - you can view these last with the free Adobe Reader or Foxit Readerfree software, among others.

  • Files in duplicate locations and Windows Live Movie Maker is not opening

    I think that I dragged accidentally the document library tab in the Video Library tab (in the tab on the left menu). My docs & files are now both. If I delete one, it removes both. If I create a new, it does so in both. How to cancel this please?

    In addition, at the same time, Windows Live Movie Maker no longer opens.

    Libraries actually do hold all the files or folders, they combine their in a view for easy navigation.  For example, my video library shows all the videos of three different hard disks, my roommate's computer records.  But I can see all the videos in one view combined with the library.

    To change the folders that appear inside a library, just right-click on the name of the library and choose Properties.  Who let you out your video library documents.
    In regards to the Movie Maker, it gives you an error message?

  • Windows Media Player 12 will not open or read CD/DVD

    Excuse me, I know that I posted earlier but I accidentally hit the wrong button and it says has answered my question and it was not. I had a virus on my computer and it was cleaned professionally. Now my windows media player will not open. He also will not play a cd/dvd or existing music files on my computer. The icon appears on the screen, but nothing happens when I try to open it. I can't do a system restore because there is nothing to restore, my computer was completely wiped out. Someone suggested this below "Disable media features" reboot and then turn on again. I tried already with no luck. I'm also totally updated everything I could find to put on my computer up-to-date.

    1. click on Start (lower-left) and then on Control Panel.

    2. click on programs and features.

    3. on the left side of the screen, click on 'Windows turn features on or off".

    4. look for the entry called multimedia features and extend it by using the symbol. +.

    5. uncheck the box for Windows Media Player.

    6. click on OK.

    7 restart the PC.

    8. click on Start (lower-left) and then on Control Panel.

    9. click on programs and features.

    10. on the left side of the screen, click on 'Windows turn features on or off".

    11 look for the entry called multimedia features and to extend it using the symbol +.

    12. check the box for Windows Media Player.

    13. click on OK.

    14. restart the PC.

    I was afraid of that - "Configuration parameters can be set wrongly."

    On google, there are a few reports of this error message and I couldn't find any that it is resolved. I hope that someone else will be "the chip" with a solution. I'm sorry.

    There are some media player FixIt who might want to try (I have not had your specific problem and Ive not run the FixIt so can't say for sure).

    You can try things like a SFC/scannow , that can help, but I doubt it. I guess it depends on what the virus.

    You could check that the virus is actually went in downloading, installing, free update (update in the Admin) and running a scan with Malwarebytes , but if it was 'cleaned professionally"should be deleted. But unfortunately things that his attack can still be altered.

    You could try a test, to create a new user account 'test' and the connection through that to see if WMP works from this account. for example, it can be your user profile that has been damaged. If this account works WMP then migrate your data everywhere...

    If all goes well, a WMP expert will come to the rescue.

  • 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 7 photo viewer will not open images

    My laptop has just been reduced to factory settings and lost all my files, fortunately, most of them have been recovered by a technician and he burned them on a disc for me. There is a mixture of photos and documents, no open documents and only a few images opens with Photo Viewer, the rest goes to tell an error message "windows Photo Viewer cannot open this picture because a photo viewer does not support the file format or you do not have the latest updates for photo viewer." No idea how to solve this problem? Thank you.

    ======================================

    It is highly possible that files recovered
    were partially crushed. If the technology who have recovered
    files had success by viewing... maybe you
    could ask him what software he used.

    You can view the files in Windows Paint?

    If you have no success in the file display... the
    more info can be useful...

    There is software that can be able to
    Restore files. If you want to experiment...
    the following programs of detail may be worth a try.

    Good luck...

    The following programs are not free, but the demo
    versions will be preview files that can be recovered.
