Windows Photo Gallery contains more photos than my pictures folder and my drive hard iomega

I'm a long-time Windows user, but an infant when it comes to the OS. I try to use a disk hard iomega for photo backup.  My windows image file contains 3542 images, the iomega contains the same number, covering a period of time, from 2002 to 2009.  My Windows Photo Gallery contains 23 000 + items covering a period from 2002 to 2011.  Before my last backup attempt, a few minutes earlier, 18000 Photo Gallery + content elements.  When I clicked on the button "Import pictures using Windows" for the iomega he said had 5169 photos to import.  I guess that Windows imported these 5169 photos in Photo Gallery when I intended to send photos to the Photo Gallery for the iomega.  Where should I look to find the missing photos for 2009 to 2011?  When I find out how to do them in Windows Photo Gallery?  How can I transfer photos from the Photo Gallery for the iomega.

Thank you

Gene

Photos of "only" that are actually stored by Windows Live Photo Gallery
are the unreleased original files that are saved as a backup when a picture is
edited. These are the files that replace a photo retouched then "Cancel".
the button is pressed.

The path to the backup on a Vista system folder must be:

Vista
C:\Users\\Appdata\Local\Microsoft\Windows Gallery\Original photos.

The rest of the thumbnails that see you in the Gallery is just pointers to
they are saved in the pictures in the folders on your hard drive. You can check
This by clicking on a thumb in the gallery and choose "open file location".
This can help you to find photos of the "disappeared".

It is possible that some photos have been imported more than once and that
could explain the discrepancy between the total number of files.

Renaming or deleting the file of database owner should dissipate the
several inches.

This causes WLPG create a new file
next time it is launched and will return
WLPG to its original state.

Some tags who could not not and metadata
be rewritten on the photo, the files can be
lost.

On your Vista system, this file would be
Pictures.PD4, Pictures.pd5 or Pictures.pd6
(depending on your version of the gallery)

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

It is a hidden file and you may need
change the following settings:

Windows Vista - Show hidden files
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/Show-hidden-files

The file ends with a advanced
Research of pd4 pd5 and pd6.

Reach... Start / Search / Advanced search.

Check the box... "include not indexed, hidden,
and the file system"enter pd4, pd5 pd6 in the
Name field

Rename the .pd5 .pd4 or pd6 file should
clean your library.

Try a click right/rename it...      Pictures.OLD
If you are not satisfied with the results... you can
Delete the new file and rename the OLD file
Back to Pictures.pd4, .pd5 or .pd6.

Good luck...

    Original title: Sound Recorder

    If I've understood your problem, try this. Create a shortcut to "soundrecorder /file outputfilename.wav" (without the quotes).

    Then start soundrecorder via this shortcut and start and stop the recording, it will save so (hopefully) as a wav as before.

    I think the problem is, W7 soundrecorder, by default, saves to wma.

    If not, try a 3rd free part program such as Audacity (which seems like overkill, but should do the job).

  • Windows Photo Viewer does not not and open pictures

    I did a clean install of Windows 7 64 bit last week. I had Win XP and started all over with Win 7. I installed everything on my PC and everything seems to work except the photo viewer. I can't open, and it is defined as the default value for all the photos. When I opened a photo, I'd get a COM surrogate error and another window on this error asking if I'd like to send information to Microsoft. I clicked Yes and all the errors disappeared. Now when I open a photo I can see the thinking of system and then nothing happens. I tried the following command to test / fix.

    Used paint to create multiple documents of different types (jpg, bmp, png). None of these types is open in Photo Viewer.

    All other PCs on Win 7 in my house can open the same photos very well so I know that they are not damaged. I have the shared disk that has pictures on it.

    Run the SCF/scannow - this has not fixed the problem.

    Installed to the Windows Photo Gallery - this has not fixed the problem.

    I noticed that Windows error reports an APPCRASH whenever I try to open the photo viewer. There is also an Application error reports Windows error that says that there was an application error for dllhost.exe.

    What should I do to fix this? Can I reinstall the photo viewer or do a repair system?

  • Change the location of the file thumbnails and original pictures folder to a drive other than the c: drive

    Windows Live Photo Gallery has interesting features, I would like to use, but I have thousands and thousands of photos and cannot afford to use the default locations for the resource files and application folders. My c: drive is a small solid state drive, so I want ALL the resources of the application on another drive.

    C:\Users\John\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Live Photo Gallery has 6 GB of files it contains.
    I can't find a way to move this place also.
    The app also seems to copy original Images folder in several versions for restore points. How can I prevent that to happen?
    And how to configure this software so that the location of the original images is in a folder and drive that I specify, rather than the default location on the C?
    I would really like to continue to use this software, but I'll drop and throw if I can't get the resources that are located on a different drive...
    Thanks for the tips!

    When you reinstall Windows correctly, you start from the CD. Is it
    what you were doing?

    If so, the installation starts formatting the disk for you, then all the
    your files are gone.

    And by the way, reinstalling Windows due to an infection by the virus is
    almost always way exaggerated. There are several very good anti-virus
    programs that could probably removed the virus for you.

  • historical files Windows 8 does not recognize my drive hard iomega

    I have problems with the historical establishment of files to back up my files, because the program does not recognize my Iomega portable hard drive.

    I get this error message whenever I try to backup the files.

    Historical files does not recognize this player!

    They appear in the my computer list and I can drag and drop files it, all right.

    Any ideas?

    OK, I cracked now the problem of the history files do not recognize my USB external, even if the drive expansion drive had worked initially and he was behaving normally in the file Explorer. Here is how I have it done - it worked for me on my PC - maybe it will work for others.

    1. open the file history, and then click Select Drive. Select a different drive than the one that fails to be recognized. (If necessary add a HARD extra internal drive to your PC. If you have a laptop you can try adding an extra USB drive to a different USB port - I have not tried). Continue to set up the history of the files on the new disk. Then turn off historic files on the new drive so that a whole bunch of files are not transferred.

    2. go on the external USB drive that has not been recognized, find the folder of the file history, and rename it to "File History.old" or remove it.

    3. go to your C:\Users\your user folder\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows, find the folder of the file history and rename "File History.old" or remove it.

    4 re - open history file, click Select drive and select the original USB key that was not recognized. The player must now be implemented normally and begin to function.

    5 remove the folder from the file history on the hot spare used in procedure 1. above.

    The process described above is relevant to situations where people can change drive letters by adding or removing disks or the system of travel between readers and for this reason the history of files configuration files are pointing to the wrong drive.
