• 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.

  Stops Windows Live Photo Gallery (944221)
  answer or does not start
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/944221/en-us

  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

• After downloading, Windows Photo Gallery does not display the Photo, why?

  For several months, whenever I open a message, image or text downloaded with, library or, Nero Photosnap, I do not get to see the Photo, or text. I have to use Explorer or Firefox. Photo Gallery just recording the of scanned photos, downloaded cheap. I have "NERO 7" and "WINRAR" installed." Everything worked fine until a few months ago. How can I fix?

  Hi willmulholland,

  1. What is the file format of the uploaded image?

  2. use the Windows or Windows Photo Gallery live photo gallery?

  3. you receive an error message when you try to view the images uploaded using Windows Photo Gallery?

  4. are you having similar problem when displaying any other picture using Windows Photo Gallery?

  If you use Windows live photo gallery, then I would say that you post your question in the forums of Windows live.

• Windows Photo Gallery does not save the edited images.

  I have problems editing contrast and red-eye with Windows Photo Gallery.  I get rid of the red eye and change the brightness, close gallery and get an error message "an error prevents photo library to save this image."  The image isn't 'read only', it is a jpeg file, and I am the owner/user.  I edited many other images, but now it restricts me to do these as well as a few others that I've ever edit.  Any ideas on what's going on?

  Hello sjleite,

  Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Community Forum.

  If you encounter problems, saving images edited when you could before, I would ask

  If you have installed the 3rd party software that may interfere with the Windows Photo Gallery.

  (1) If you have a third Party photo editing software, try removing it and see if that doesn't

  correct your problem.

  (2) other forums, I found several mentions to be a problem with a corrupted author field. Look in the file properties Details page. You can get the properties on the photo in question, scroll to the right section of author and origin and remove characters. Select apply and close the file. If the field of copyright has no characters to remove, try adding a few characters and then delete them.

  (3) the last thing to try is to check the permission on the Windows Photo Gallery.

  Go at the beginning and list programs. Right-click on the icon of photo gallery windows live and go to properties. Select tab security put highlight the Everyone group, click the button change. Put a control under all permissions allow. Then do the same for the users group. Click on apply or OK.

  If please post again and let us know if these suggestions helped solve your problem or if you need further assistance.

• Windows Photo Gallery can not open desktop image files

  When I double click on an image file on the desktop, nothing happens.  When I right-click and choose Preview, it does nothing. also, if I choose open with: Windows Photo Gallery, nothing.

  I can add pictures in a folder, start Windows Photo Gallery and view them.

  I have never changed the default Photo Viewer, it's still the Windows Photo Viewer.

  Hi m WALID,
   
  Step 1: Try these steps and check the result.
  a. Windows Photo Gallery closed.

  Step 2: If the problem persists, scan system file checker (SFC) to find and difficulty of the missing or corrupt system files
  a. visit http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929833

  Hi WilliamHendry,

  3. are you able to play other file format music files using Windows media player?

  In Windows vista, you will not find Windows media player available in the list of Windows features.

• 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.

• Photo Gallery does not open some files (pictures) that he used. He said: it is not "supported."

  Photo Gallery does not open some files that it used.  He said that its not "supported"?  In addition, I can't open some of the files that are in that I think an older version of word.  How can I fix these problems?  There is no window that opens for updates when opening Photo Gallery.

  Well, you don't say what files it used to open then try this. Control Panel, programs, by default, set your default progaams, Windows Photo Gallery, set this program as default.
