Windows Live Error Msg Photo Gallery: "an error prevents this slideshow to play."

I have a Dell 9100 running windows 7 Ultimate. The screen saver was working well with "Windows Live Photo Gallery" selected until two days ago, when the error message "an error prevents this slideshow to play." began to appear. The screensaver works well with all the other selections in the screen saver drop down. I tried to adjust the power settings and clicked on the 'read only' button for the screen saver as suggested in previous posts, nothing is done. What to do next?

Hello

Addition to the steps listed above in the previous post, here is a link that should prove beneficial for solving your problem.  If you please you would follow with me at your convenience, I would be very happy.

    Goto library > images and everything above, see tab photo tools (yellow on my screen).  Below is another tab 'manage '.  Click on manage and then left click on the slideshow icon.  There may be a flurry of activity on a dialog box and in a few seconds the box closes.  When this happens, press the windows key and find your photo on the home page icon and click on it.  You should be ok now.

    Hey Wilson,

    This problem may occur if you have any other type of file outside of image files that are stored in the photo folder.

    I suggest you to check that all the files in the folder of photo image files. If you find other types of files as the video file or a music file or any other type of files, I suggest going the other files except the file image to a separate folder or another location and check to see if the screensaver in the photo gallery works just fine.

    I hope this helps. Let us know the status.

    Thank you and best regards,

  • In Windows 8, an error prevents the slideshow to play as screensaver, also error when playing YouTube videos and no sound on videos

    Everything was working fine a week ago and I never changed anything, but my screen of sleep (Windows Live Photo Gallery), stopped working and I got this error message.  As it happened, when I try to play videos YouTube I get an error message and it tells me to try again later.  Videos in other formats will play, but there is no sound on any of them although when I run the maintenance program it says there is no problem with the sound.  I don't know which is the case because I tried some fixes, I found on the internet and the screensaver CAME and returning for a day, but then stopped working again the next day.

    This question was asked before with earlier versions of Windows, but no one seems to have found a permanent solution?  Help, please.

    Hello

    You can run the SFC tool and check if that helps. SFC/scannow is a very useful command that you can use in any version of Windows. When the SFC (System File Checker) command is used with the/scannow switch, the tool analyzes all the important files of Windows on your computer and replace if necessary. Missing and the corruption of the operating system (like many DLLs) files are probably the main cause of the major problems of Windows.

    See the following steps to perform a scan SFC:

    (a) press the Windows key + X, select the prompt (Admin) to bring up the elevated command prompt.

    (b) in the command prompt, type the following command: sfc/scannow then press ENTER.

    (c) after the scan, restart the computer and check if the problem persists.

    Response with the State of the question and we will be happy to offer you our help.
