• How to fix? Windows Photo Gallery keeps closing

  Hi, I've seen other posts on this problem here, but have yet to see someone follow up and report on a solution that worked.  So I ask you once again.  When I try to open Windows Photo Gallery, it opens briefly, then stops.  The only thing I did recently was reinstall Office 2007 and Outlook 2003 installation.  Here is the error information I receive:

  Signature of the problem:

  Hi John,.

  Thanks for the quick response!  After that, I tried the reallocation of photo gallery Windows Live as the default application for photo files.  So when I saw your response, I followed it for Windows Live.  I don't understand what you mean by "you'll have to recataloguer."  I changed the name of the file, and then open the photo gallery, according to the instructions.  But shortly after a stop too it (a few minutes with 'Live,' immediate versus with regular photo gallery).

  What I started to do, is try to copy old photos from a CD on this relatively new computer.  They would not copy.  Then I tried to select 'Import pictures' rather than 'open folder '.  That's when I noticed the problem with the photo gallery Windows stops immediately.  It seems to be the same problem another user has pointed out - Data Execution Prevention stops the program.  But I can not turn off DEP for library - it will not allow him.  I tried an update, or a DEP-compatible version, but found none.

  Here's a maybe stupid question: can I just move to another photo application?  Aren't my files always in there somewhere, accessible by another application?  Or am I totally off base regarding how it works?

  Thanks for the ideas!

  ===============================================
  New catalogue means when you rename or delete the .pd4 file... your Photo
  Gallery will return to the way it was the first time that you opened. The
  Photo Gallery will fill again.

  It may be interesting to try to uninstall Windows Live Photo Gallery (you can not
  uninstall Windows Photo Gallery). And if it is a recent issue... it can be
  worth a try to restore the system to an hour before it began.

  Yes you can use another software... IrfanView, Picasa and FastStone Image
  Spectator got three which may be worth a try (all free).

  Your photos are probably in your pictures folder.

  Good luck.

• WINDOWS PHOTO GALLERY KEEP CLOSE

  While in the Gallery after a minute, it closes itself with the message Windows closes

  You say that the Windows Photo Gallery closes or you
  say that Windows (operating system) goes down?

• Windows Photo Gallery keeps hanging!

  It just started with me after only a few updates last couple weeks for my Vista Ultimate (x 64) SP2. I'm getting this hanging just after I have try to open any image - not always - but too many times, it will be pasted the whole PC and hang every step inside, especially the explorer.exe. I tried to close and reopen the Manager tasks, but who was worse and not help and sometimes even stuck mouse moving.

  The main solution to this problem is simply by clicking on the small button of my camera. IT IS REALLY BAD, MORE TIME I LOSE MY FILES.
  So, what would be the solution for this. BTW, I have another PC in Win7 having the same problem. Yes IS THERE ANY DIFFICULTY for this please!

  Best regards

  Hi FloatBird,

  ·        Is the computer on the network?

  ·        Do you remember all the recent changes on your computers before this problem?

  ·        What happens when you try to open the Gallery Windows in safe mode?

  ·        What has been the result of clean boot?

  Windows 7 uses the Windows Photo Viewer.

  Check if there is no error message or error code in the event viewer. Link, please refer to:http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/What-information-appears-in-event-logs-Event-Viewer

• I can't open the .jpg files from the desktop using "Windows Photo Gallery" as the default program. They open normally from nowhere elsewhere, but not directly from the desktop. No error, nothing happens.

  If I right click 'open with' open with other programs like IE but not "Windows Photo Gallery". It is not a specific .jpg file, this is all .jpg files. For example... I have a .jpg file in a folder on my desktop, open folder double click, it will open in the "Windows Photo Gallery". Copy and paste the SAME file on the desktop, double-click on, nothing happens. I tried to restart, change the default value of IE, open the file, it opens, by default change to "Windows Photo Gallery" doesn't work... I am confused?

  (5) · Right-click Pictures.pd5

  (6) click on rename

  (7) · Change the name of the file to OLD_Pictures.pd5

  (8) · Restart the computer and then try to open the Windows Photo Gallery.

  Method 2:
  Try using the tool (SFC.exe) System File Checker to check and repair corrupt system files.  To do this, follow these steps:

  How to run scan SFC

  1. click on the Start button

  2. on the Start Menu, click all programs followed by accessories

  3. in the menu accessories, right-click on command line option

  5 If you have the enabled User Account Control (UAC) you will be asked to consent to the opening of the command line. You simply press the button continue if you are the administrator or insert password etc.

  6. in the command prompt window, type: sfc/scannow then press enter

  7. a message is displayed to indicate that "the analysis of the system will start.

  8. be patient because the analysis may take some time

  9. If all of the necessary files any replacement SFC will replace them. You may be asked to insert your Vista DVD for this process to continue

  10. If all goes although you should, after the analysis, see the following message "Windows resource protection not found any breach of integrity.

• Scanning old Photos using Windows Photo Gallery

  I am digitizing my old family pictures using Windows Photo Gallery, but each individual image that is scanned is saved as its own folder in images. Obviously, I would save each individual image as a file/thumbnail to a named folder.

  I've been in Options/File/Import, but it does not seem possible to save it to a file.

  Any ideas?

• Is it possible to keep the pictures in Windows Photo Gallery

  Among the 400 photos that I put in folders on my desk to work with them using a much better Image Editor Windows Photo Gallery made thousands of photos and when I try to get rid of them in the photo gallery are removed from the computer. You are given no option to copy / paste only delete.

  Should I just uninstall Photogallery and put an end to his lame reproduction.

  Hello

  Windows Photo Gallery is designed to automatically display the pictures and videos stored in the folder of images on your computer. You can change the contents of the Gallery at any time by adding and removing folders, which is convenient if store you some of your photos and videos in one location other than the folder of photos on your computer. You can also add pictures and videos to photo gallery without adding the entire folder.

  Warning: Photo Gallery is another way to view and organize your photos and videos. It displays images and videos you have stored in the images and other files on your computer. It is not a replacement for folders on your computer. Therefore, you must not delete the photos in the photo gallery or the pictures in the folder unless you really want to delete the picture from your computer. If you do, they will be deleted from your computer and no longer appear in the pictures folder or photo gallery.

  If the answer is not to store your file in the images under your user profile folder or they will be deleted when you delete them from Photo Gallery.

• Unable to print only one page in a multiple page / image tiff file using Windows Photo Gallery

  IT seems that for Windows Vista Photo Gallery is able to display multiple images in a TIFF file format when printing, but it does not select the image to be printed. Whenever I print a tiff image file two pages to print.  Since most of my photos are in TIFF format, and each contains two images one by one another at a reduced resolution and normal resolution I'm only interested in printing the first image and not the second.  I really don't want to convert all my photos in a different format.  Does anyone know if there is a setting to fix this?

  Hi KKosin

  Welcome to the Microsoft Vista answers Forum!

  I suggest measures are:

  1. try to print the image in MS Paint, steps to follow:

  i. Click Start, in the search box, type in the paint

  II. open the document to print

  III. click on print and check

  2. change the format of an image file and check if this problem is still happening. You can change the type of file to the JPEG/JPG format. Steps to follow:

  i. right click on the file type

  II. select Rename

  III. the extension .jpg or .jepg replace

  IV. and then try to print
