Pictures are grayed out and do not appear in Windows Photo Gallery

Hi, I have Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit.  I have problems with my photos as thumbnails appear to be dimmed, clouded - does not display is not the true clear picture.  I tried to visualize them in the photo gallery and I get this message: "you cannot add this location to the gallery. This folder or one of its parent folders is considered a file system or marked as hidden.  It is recommended that you move your pictures in the pictures folder or to a different folder. "All my photos are in the files and are under the pictures in the folder itself.  I moved some and nothing changes.  The photos are not hidden - I made sure to select this option under appearance and personalization, and it doesn't change anything. Help!

It looks like your thumbs may be "hidden". Right-click
a group selected the greyed out inch and choose...
Properties / uncheck "Hidden" / apply / OK.

  • Windows 7 updates. Important updates options are grayed out and unable to change

    I am running Home Premium Windows 7 and in Windows Updates settings, I chose "check updates but let me choose whether to download and install them". This worked well until about two months ago, when I stopped to alert me to fresh updates of messages. Now, I find the options in "Change settings" under "Major updates" are greyed out and I can't change them.

    Any advice would be appreciated. Would prefer to have the same option, I'd settle for automatic installation.

    Thanks in advance.

    You can reset the Windows Update components by running the Fixit on this page. But if there is malware present, she will continue to reset the connection to the update servers:

    How to reset the Windows Update components

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/971058

    Suggest you download and save the Fixit. Then configure the system before the clean boot by running:

    How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista/Windows 7

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

    Once the Fixit has been downloaded and the system is started in the pure State, check that the native Windows Firewall is now on if a 3rd party firewall has been used previously. Now run the Fixit and choose the default mode. Restart once it's done and see if the system can be connected to the update servers. If he can't, then rerun the Fixit and choose aggressive mode. Turn it back on when he finished the race and updates.

    I suggest before you stop and install the updates, disconnect from the Internet, first.

  • I transferred photos from my camera and they automatically entered the Windows Photo Gallery. How can I transfer them to my photo folder in 'my documents '?

    ===================================
    Your photos are not 'in' photo gallery... it accesses just
    the files where they are stored on your hard drive.

    Open Photo Gallery Windows and right click on one of the
    Photos and the Menu... Choose... 'Open file location '...
    This is the folder that the photos are actually archived.

    The only Photos archived by library are the original
    copies of photos that have been published. They should be in
    the following location.

    C:\Users\\Appdata\Local\Microsoft\Windows
    Photos of Gallery\Original.
    (Do not move or change these files, because it allows to avoid
    Photo Gallery of back to the original version)

  • The Add links and add server behaviors are grayed out and not usable.

    Good evening everyone,

    As indicated in the title, I am trying to add a record set to my project, and it is not giving me the option.  First of all, let me tell you what I use:

    Dreamweaver CS6

    XAMPP server running PHP and MYSQL

    Shows connection to the database and can be used in Dreamweaver.

    Site is built in PHP, and a .php page is currently being developed.

    Everything I have read during the last hours 3 research that said I should have links to a + link, unfortunately I do not have.

    No idea where the problem fixed so that I can continue on with the design of the site?

    Thanks in advance,

    James

    Well, I'm not sure if this is a permanent problem or not, but if other people with this problem can't seem to find an answer, try this one and let me know if it works for you.  I got antsy waiting for a response and just start playing with everything I possibly could, and that's what I did.

    When I clicked on the links, the + is grayed out, but gave me some options on how to do.

    Said one of these options to set up the test server with the words "test server" sites in blue.

    I never clicked this option, because my test server has already been put in place, and showing as connected, but I clicked on it in any case.

    He opened my server that was already there in, I hit then save... and voila!  All of a sudden, my bindings and behavior of server + worked!

  • Some files grayed out and does not

    Hi, you look at the attached screenshot. I have more than 25,000 library files in my iTunes game. About 150 of them - added, months, when iTunes game has the limit of 25,000 files - are greyed out, waiting (wait) and do not download. If I add a new file, it is transferred on a regular basis, but these 150 cases are still there. I was able to remove them, but I can't find the original anywhere on the hard disk files.

    Hello

    These files cannot be found, I think that they must have been deleted from your hard drive before that Match iTunes had completed its scan of your library. You will need to remove the greyed version and re-import the tracks of your back ups.

    This happened more often lately, I have several articles on my page and when I move one, the rest of the page becomes grey/transparent and the rest items are "locked"... Out of it, the only way is to undo the last move...

    ... What is happening here, guys?

  • How to build a model dreamweaver help than a fluid grid.  My file/save model is grayed out and will not aloow me to save my site as a template page.  Thank you

    Can I do a fluid grid layout template.  If yes how to accomplish this?

    It does not strip the CSS from your code.  If done correctly, deceive you DW thinking that it is a non fluid grid which allows to use design mode.

    Just add an X to code CSS FluidGrid that generates DW for you when you create a new FGLayout.

    Properties Grid Dreamweaver fluid

    ----------------------------------

    DW-num-CLO-mobile: X 4;

    DW-num-CLO-Tablet: 8;

    DW-num-OCOL-Office: 12;

    DW-gutter-percentage: 25;

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

    To do this, you must manually change the CSS code in Code view. Record. DW to close and reopen DW.

    To return to the mode of FGLayout, you will need to remove the X.  Record.  DW to close and reopen DW.
