• Windows Photo Gallery. How can I change the settings in the Windows Photo Gallery to automatically open the image without going to the index first?

  Windows Photo Gallery.  How can I change the settings in the Windows Photo Gallery to automatically open the image without going to the index first?

  Additional information: there are 2 computers that I use on the first Gallery Photo of Windows will open the image and allow me to use the left and right buttons to scroll through the rest of the photos in the folder, that's what I want.

  On the 2nd computer when I open an image it will open the Windows Photo Gallery in an index with thumbnails of the displayed record.  How can I change so that it opens the same thing as the first computer?

  I did the following on both computers; Right-click on the image and select open with...--> choose the default program--> go--> Program Files, Windows Photo Gallery, but it will be open always differently on computer 2.

  Both computers use Windows Vista 32-bit.

  Thanks in advance.

  This would happen if the file associations are corrupted on the computer, try method to set Photo Gallery Windows as the default program for opening files jpeg or png below image types.

  (a) open default programs by clicking the Start button, click default programs.

  (b) click on associate a type of file or Protocol with a program

  (c) in the following list of file protocol search jpeg and make sure that you have associated with the program that uses it and then check if it works.

  Change the programs that Windows uses by default

• Error trying to open the photos scanned in the Windows Photo Gallery: Windows Photo Gallery can't open this photo, the format is not supported

  I scanned a few photos, but its entry in the adobe format, I wan't it in windows photo gallery, which will make

  I right click on the image, click on the Prog by default to choose, select windows photo gallery, but it did not open, he writes

  "Photo Gallery can't open this photo, the format is not supported.

  Your better off using paint to scan directly to, because for one, it has a way to change the types of files and two he has a check-in feature, more than anything the photo library has.

  All you have to do is open paint, click the blue button and click option of scanner or camera, follow the prompts.

• Photo Gallery will not open the zip file

  Hi all

  Someone sent me an email with 5 photos inside zip file.  I downloaded the attachment and open the file with photo gallery.  I watched all 5 images successfully.  When I tried to turn one of the pictures I noticed the button to rotate the image was gray.  I also noticed that the Photo Gallery menu everything is gray.  I closed the library and tried the process again.  Now all I get is the error response "Photo Gallery can't open this photo or video.  The file format is not supported, or you do not have the latest updates. "I tried to download it from the email once again, but just keep getting the same error response.  I can't open the zip file AT ALL and have no idea what to do.  I also tried Picasa to open the file, but here, the answer is "invalid image".  I'm sorry to say that I'm a novice on the actual technical stuff so go easy on me please :)  Thanks in advance for any help.

  Yes, I double click on the file and looked at the pictures.  Now, if I double click on I just get the error message.

  =====================================
  Double click on a zip file it will open but do not unzip.

  Two things to try:

  (1) slide the photos out of the file compressed in a new folder.

  (2) make a right-click the folder zipped and in the menu... Choose... Extract all.

  For Windows Photo Gallery... just change the path:

  %UserProfile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows photo Gallery

  After Renaming Pictures.pd4 you will need to re-catalogue
  your photos. If rename Pictures.pd4 does not resolve the
  problem... you can delete the new file Pictures.pd4 and
  change the name of the original file to Pictures.pd4
  and the catalog is restored.

  In later versions of Windows Live Photo Gallery...
  the name of the file is Pictures.pd5. John Inzer - MS - MVP - digital media experience

• Photo Gallery can't open this picture file or video format not supported or you don't have the latest version of photo gallery.

  Photo Gallery has hijacked my hard drive! Initially upwards to turn on and I have to remove the screen like 12 times or more. The I t allow me to run some programs like restore or download the upgrades and other things, it seems to occur very randomly. How can I get this to stop?

• 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?

• Win Windows 7 photo viewer will not open the .psf files

  Windows Photo Viewer does not open. PSF files from Epson?

  Programs can recognize only the files they are supposed to use.

  In the case of the Windows Photo Viewer, the official documentation says that it can display the following types of files (although you can add a little more by installing one or more codecs- LINK):

  Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG)	.jpg and .jpeg,
  Tagged Image File Format (TIFF)	. TIF and .tiff
  Portable Network Graphics (PNG)	.PNG
  Graphics Interchange Format (GIF)	.gif
  Bitmap image	.bmp and DIBs
  HD Photo	. WDP

  Do you really mean PSF files?  As far as I can tell, a PSF file is probably an Adobe Photoshop proof Settings file.

  If you mean PDF files - which are outputs to any scanner - you can view these last with the free Adobe Reader or Foxit Readerfree software, among others.

  Updated photo gallery

  On the Windows Photo Gallery, I get the following message: Photo Gallery can't open this photo or video.  This file format is not supported or you do not have the photo gallery was last updated.  I tried to download a site to print it and the download is finished, and then I got this message when I tried to open it.

  I'm having the same problem with a photo that is in a jpg format... I have no trouble to watch the other jpg files.  The only difference is that I bought this photo and he was sent as an attachment in an email, but the name of the file ends with .jpg, so I guess it's a jpg...
