Windows Live Photo Gallery stopped working

• Windows live photos has stopped working on my LENOVO windows 7 PC.

  When I try to open "Windows live photo gallery", the site becomes blurred, and I get a pop up saying "Windows live photo gallery has stopped working".

  I clicked on "find an online solution & close program", and I get nothing. Under 'View problem details,' he said 'The problem event name' - APPCRASH: name of the Application - WLXphotogallery.EXE and a ton of stuff after that.
  I downloaded all the latest security news, and that did not help.
  Someone has any idea how to solve this problem?

  I came across a somewhat acceptable 3-step solution to the problem of the photo library to break with the message, "Photo Gallery stopped working" shortly after the start. This workaround and the problem it addresses only apply to computers with AMD or ATI graphics cards.

  1. Use Windows Explorer to navigate to the following folder (Win + E).
     • %ProgramFiles%\Common Technologies\Multimedia ATI
  2. Rename the following files in a temporary thing. For example, add "-off" at the end of each name. Note: these files may appear without ".dll" at the end, depending on your system settings.
     • AMF-wic-jpeg - decoder32.dll
     • AMF-wic-jpeg - decoder64.dll
  3. Restart Windows.

  AMD is rumored to have a fix on the way to a bug in the driver files. But, this work around 3 steps will be likely welcomed by fans of photos, until that day comes.

  Note: After you apply this workaround solution your computer may encounter minor performance problems. And, if you update or reinstall video drivers AMD/ATI, the roar of the Gallery of photos can reproduce until you reapply this workaround solution.

  I want to give credit to the one who first developed this work around. But I got used with no citation provided.

• Windows Live Photo Gallery Codec Host and COM Surrogate stopped working. How do fix you this?

  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.
  I want to thank you in advance for your support.  I got the great help from you in the past.

• Why is it whenever I either go to or near THE WINDOWS LIVE PHOTO GALLERY... I get "WINDOWS LIVE PHOTO GALLERY REPAIR STOPPED WORKING"?

  It's getting REALLY BORING every time as I add photos or look at photos when I get these pop-ups saying how info is sent to MICROSOFT.  For as many times I have to click to "SEND the INFO... I MUST HAVE GOT a RESPONSE or the problem SOLVED!  I would like to know how to 'fix' this problem MYSELF!  It is restarts even once I click on CLOSE OUT the program!

  ===========================================
  Maybe the exclusive database is corrupted.

  Read the following article.

  (according to version, database can be
  Pictures.PD4, Pictures.pd5 or Pictures.pd6)

  When you rename the file will force Live Photo Gallery to create
  a new database on the next launch file.

  Know that the gallery will be as it was the first time that you
  open and some metadata and labels may be lost.

  Good luck...

• Cannot install windows live photo gallery, it says I have to sign as an administrator for the download to work

  Original title: Windows Live Photo Gallery problem

  I used to have Windows Live Photo Gallery on this computer and it was working fine.  For some reason, he took off.  I tried to download again and get a message that says I have to sign as an administrator for the download to work.  When I check my user account, it is said that I AM the administrator.

  What should do?  Thank you

  Try to create a new administrator account and see if you can install the program. If you can, your profile is corrupt.

• 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.

I select the Saver screen and then winodws live Gallery option. I find the blockhouse containing my videos. I save all my options and then return to the zapodam. The small screen shows a preview of mini that works. However, when I select an excerpt of my screen becomes all white and nothing happens. When I tried based on apply and ok and wiating two minutes, I've specified as screensaver, it always loads just a blank screen and never play my video. He does the same for photos under Window Live Gallery - I can get the pictures to work and all the other screen savers to work just not the windows live gallery. I really want to use this option if I can use the video function. Please advise what I have wrong or need to do. Is there a certain format that videos must be? Help, please! Thank you

• 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?

• Windows Live Photo Gallery HELP troubleshooting!

  For some reason, the tab home suddenly disappeared when I open an individual photo in Windows Live Photo Gallery.

  I have worked in my Gallery for a few hours now, and before, when I opened an individual photo it would just make more and focus on this one here.
  Now, the file menu on the left is gone (im sure it was there before) and the tab home went.

  without the Home tab, the only way to return to the main menu it if close program and re open.

  How can I stop?

  In Windows Live Photo Gallery... to navigate from full
  Miniature display... try to press your ESC key.

• toolbar of Windows live photo gallery is black

  I'm unable to access the bar of buttons for Windows Live Photo Gallery. This problem showed up a couple of days.  I have reinstalled Java and Flash.  From this morning's seems to have cascaded into other programs such as Yahoo Instant Messenger, since all screens are white and without words.

  Just ran MSN Messenger... same thing... black screens without text. Can not yet see the login screen.

  Looks like you may have a virus or other malware. Get your updated antivirus program and boot into Safe Mode. Note that some viruses can hide from your normal antivirus program, so you really need to scan in Safe Mode. To enter in Safe Mode when you turn on first, press F8 on every seconds until you get the menu, and then select Safe Mode. Then run a complete system scan.

  If that suits him fine. If this is not the case, use system restore to go back to an earlier date at the beginning of the problem. To run system restore, click Start-> programs-> Accessories-> System Tools-> system restore. Click on the box that says show more restore points.

  -

  You can check the corrupted system files. Open an administrator command prompt and run SFC if the above does not help. Click START, and then type CMD in the search box, right-click on CMD. EXE and click run as administrator. Then, from the command prompt type sfc/scannow.

  -

  Finally if all else fails, you can look at the rather cryptic system event log. To do that click on start-> Control Panel-> administration-> event viewer tools. Once in Event Viewer system log-click and scroll entries looking for these "error" with indicator see if you can find guidance on where the problem may be.

  `

  When you get your system in good working condition, I invite you to back up your system up to an external hard drive and make it regular periodic updates.

• [FIXED] WL library error start error: Windows Live Photo Gallery encountered an error and cannot start. Error code: 0 x 80070035

  Original title: error starting in WL photo library

  Hello guys,.

  I use the photo gallery of WL (latest version) for some time, but one day it stopped working without remembering any important changes that might break a.

  When I try to run it, it gives this error:

  ---------------------------
  Windows Live Photo Gallery
  ---------------------------
  Windows Live Photo Gallery encountered an error and cannot start.

  Error code: 0 x 80070035
  ---------------------------
  Ok
  ---------------------------

  I tried to reinstall it but without success. I've also renamed the files Pictures.pdX C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Live Photo Gallery, but with the same result.

  Not to mention that the event log does not contain messages recorded on this subject and also the follow-up of the process with Process Monitor did not show anything that would tell me the cause of this problem...

  If someone from the Live team or an MVP watch that I can send you the output monitor process or any other information that you might find useful.

  Any other suggestions on what I can try next?

  Thank you!

  Chris

  I'm waiting for the confirmation of the guys from the Live team on this, but I've corrected this problem.

  The error came from the fact that Windows registry stalled Chronogram of some access roads network I had on my computer from a former WHS (Windows Home Server) box so basically, Windows Explorer - WL photo library was still trying reach these network paths, even if in Explorer / settings there is no references to WHS, so registry entries in neutral paths and wrong...

  Replace the data of those key in the Windows registry under the HKEY CURRENT USER corrected this problem and I was able to start WL photo library.

• I get a message that the request for assistance does not exist when I try to open a jpg file or files in excel attachments. I have associated use windows live photo gallery

  I went to tools, Options, attachments and there are associated programs that should be able to open files - Windows Live Photo gallery for the Microsoft Excel for excel files and JPG files. I actually download and save the files and then open them. Is there any solution for this?

  Go back and delete associations and start again by opening one of these files. Thunderbird will recreate the Scriptures based on your choices and they will then probably work.
