• When you use Windows Live Photo Gallery SCREENSAVER, monitor off, regardless of power parameters. The power settings work with all the other screen savers.

  Windows Live Photo Gallery screensaver does not extinguish whatever my power settings.  This is the case with Windows Live Photo Gallery.  When you use any other screen saver, the screen turns off according to the way in which the power settings are defined.  It is quite frustrating because I prefer to use as my screen saver Windows Live Photo Gallery.  But he will stay indefinitely if I stop it manually.  Someone has any idea how to solve this problem?   Thank you.

• Windows live photo gallery screensaver just empty?

  Salvation for a few months now my screensaver windows photo gallery has just been going to blank it used to work and have done so for almost 2 years. I have redownloaded windows live photo gallery and still can't make it work, any help on this would be thank you very much.

  You have problems with any other screen savers (this is VERY important) - even the slide show normal ones (if if you can have a different and wider than just this one problem screensaver Live Gallery - post if it is the case that we need to try a few different options than those offered or maybe at least some additional options)?  Is Aero active and selected - if not available, do?  Now never works or sometimes work (tell you it turns off suggesting it starts OK and then fails - I need to know if this is the case, and on how long it works before going empty)?  When you test (I am not sure that you can test it but if possible, it works or does nothing happen)?  When you say he fails to tell you absolutely everything, nothing happens when selected (which means that you can not select it) or do you mean it is still not listed as an option or you want to say when it should light it does not activate (and if so, whatever it happens to all of the error messages) (, or whatever)?

  Go to start / Control Panel / administrative tools / Event Viewer and look for any screensaver errors or maybe photo gallery (it should be some if it is not enabled). Here's how to use Event Viewer: http://www.petri.co.il/vista-event-viewer.htm.  Look in the sections of the system and applications.

  I hope this helps to identify or solve the problem.  If this isn't the case, post back with the results, but if everything works fine (after trying the above) and there is no errors except this one screen saver, so we consult experts.

  Please repost your question in the Windows Live Photo Gallery or Forums portal at:http://windowslivehelp.com/product.aspx?productid=20.  First check to see if your question has already been answered or if none of the articles help.  If this is not the case, go to the Forum and post your question there.  Experts in the photo gallery will be happy to help you.

• Green tint to my photos in Windows Live Photo Gallery

  When I open an individual photo in Windows Live Photo Gallery, the background color that surrounds the picture is a pale lime and this actually dyed color image. If I move this image to other photo editing software, it seems normal. This has nothing to do with my color setting of Windows I've tried different settings.

  On other programs, the background color is the normal white.

  I found a solution by searching the Web.

  Open display in Control Panel, click on "change display settings", click "Advanced settings", click on "Color management", click on the "color management" bar, click the box that says: "Use my settings for this device", click on "Advanced" tag, find "Calibrate display" and click it, follow the instructions in the menu for calibrating your monitor. " Save the new calibration settings.

  Problem solved for me, the Green tint disappeared.

  ===========================================
  Complex issue... but I'll try to offer some ideas.

  Data that cannot be rewritten on the photo files are archived in the
  Windows Live Photo Gallery database owner (Pictures.pd5).
  So... move the files may prevent access to the data.

  If you move the files to another computer, you may have some
  moviing success the Pictures.pd5 file also.

  Sometimes data are not written back to the image files, because they
  are read only... and sometimes it's because of the file format.

  Maybe the next thread will enlighten us:

• Windows Live Photo Gallery 'Read only' error.

  After the Windows Live Essentials 2011 Installation, I lost all capacity for photo editing.

  If I try to edit a photo that is on my PC in my pictures folder. New 2011 Photo Gallery indicates that the file is a "read only file and Windows Live Photo Gallery can not changing."

  Note: The files are not read-only files.  They are pictures that I had for years.  Windows Vista & Windows 7 (Previous Versions of photo gallery had no problem to change.

  In conclusion, Windows Live

  Photo Gallery can't edit new or old photos.

  I tried to uninstall Windows Live & put it back in place.  But without success.

  Is it possible for me to go back to previous versions of Windows Live Photo Gallery?

• Windows live photo gallery: original photos lost the transfer to the new computer

  photos to the new computer, and the originals have not been transferred as im guessing they're saved in the software/program that cannot be transferred.

  If there is not a way to transfer original and edited photos to the new computer, is there a way to return all original with a single click, so that I can transfer the originals on my new computer?

  Thank you.

  Thank you, you saved my originals... I copy paste, but can not work how to connect my pictures changed to the originals so that I can click on my modified photos and click on 'back '.

  Thanks again

  ===========================================
  Sorry, but I don't have the exact solution for re - associate the
  originals with edited versions.  The only thing I would like to know
  to try would be to place the originals in the original Images
  folder on the new system.

  Maybe... I say just that maybe if you copied the photo gallery
  exclusive database of the old system and used it to replace
  the database on the new system. (Just copy and paste the file in)
  the appropriate on the new system folder, and when you see
  ... dialog box you want to replace? with? Select Yes.

  Also... you could instead of replace your new database...
  rename it... Pictures.OLD for example. So if the replacement
  do not re - associate files... you can remove the replacement
  and rename the OLD version in what it was and the Gallery
  must be as it was before the change.

  Depending on the version of your photo gallery might be the database
  Pictures.PD5, Pictures.pd6, Pictures.pd7...

  The path to the version of Win XP is:

  C:\Documents and Settings\ > user name<\Local>
  Application Data\Microsoft\Windows Live Photo Gallery\
  Pictures.PD4, Pictures.pd5 or Pictures.pd6

  Windows Vista:

  C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\
  Windows Photo Gallery\Pictures.pd4 or pd5 pd6

  Windows 7:

  Windows\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\
  Windows Live Photo Gallery\Pictures.pd6

  (Sorry, but I'm not sure of the path in Windows 8 but if you)
  do a search for PD6 PD7, you should be able to find it.

  The former article is a user experience
  with the shifting of the database... maybe it would offer a few ideas:

• Fault of Windows Live Photo Gallery?

  I just edited a few photos in Windows Live Photo Gallery, and despite an economy of message is to save the changes, when I try and find the image, it has completely disappeared. This feature has always worked and I am devastated pretty that I can't find these aas images that they are for a college course. Any help would be appreciated. They are not in the trash.

• I can't put my wallpaper with an image of Windows Live Photo gallery.

  I am currently using Windows XP sp3, and whenbever I'm trying to set my wallpaper with an image of Windows Live Photo Gallery, the image will be there for a few minutes then goes to blue screen. I can not change to any other image from those available or set it to any other image from the photo gallery.  I tried to do a system restore and my old picrure Office will be there, but whenever I try to change to another is the same thing. Is there anyone that cn offers a solution to this problem?

  I had the same problem and just think about it. The image must be saved in the folder "my pictures." Right-click of your screen and go down to "Properties" there, press the 'Desktop' tab and click on the 'Browse' button and select your image in the menu. After you have finished click the 'Settings' tab and click on the "Advanced" button, which will bring up a new window, under the section "compatibility, select the"restart the computer before applying the new display settings' option. " Apply then hit and your image should appear as background.

• My Windows Live Photo Gallery has been accidentally removed from

  (continue from above) to my Vista computer as well as 2 000 images.  I found online that I had to load Windows XP Service Pack 2, before I could reinstall/restore my Windows Live Photo Gallery.  Why did you download an XP service pack 2 on a Vista computer.  Didn't want to screw up more than it already is?  Help please if anyone knows how I can recover my photo library program I would appreciate your help.  Thank you

  Photo Gallery does not store the image files, it just reads the.  It's like a DVD player: give him the drive.

  Even without Photo Gallery, all your image files is still in your photo folder (or anywhere where you keep your image files).
