Thank you for your attention.

Open a prompt as an administrator (right mouse on it). type sfc/scannow

See if that fixes it. Want me to check with teamviewer? You'll see what I'm doing. If you get it give me the ID and the password, it gives you. Or if you use Skype adds me. My name is the same name I use here

    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.

    Original title: __lost my microsoft photo program when I tried to download the upgrade to essentials

    I tried to download the new update essentials download and three quarters of the way through, he stopped.
    The download was already about this. He said then; "put everything back as it was" when he did. I have
    lost my photo program. It now gives you a nag screen which keeps comeing like:

    Error loading C\program can windows live \photo gallery\WLXphoto Gallery\
    WLXPhotoViewer.dll
                              
    The system cannot find message for message number 0 X %1 in the message file

    0 x %2

    In addition, whenever I boot, the screen shows: "ready to download microsoft essentials" restoration is not
    the ride.

    After starting, the system leaves me alone until I try to open a j - peg or some file im trying to open.
    then the cycle starts again. further investigation, saying that I lost a dll.

    I tried to find microsoft photo viewer download to try to repair the photo of microsoft program and concluded that the
    only way I can do that is by downloading the essential upgrade download because it is attached to it.
    In order to accept the upgrade, the photo program should probably be repaired, as a thought as microsoft solve this Center says there is no problem. all other articles on the net is also not related or doesnot show how to fix the missing dll if it is the problem.
