• 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:

  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.

• 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.

  Hi TKav,

  1 when was the last time it was working fine?

  2. did you of recent changes on the computer?

  I suggest that you check to see if the problem persists in safe mode.

  Note: Display in safe mode wouldn't be good display drivers are disabled.

  Start your computer in safe mode

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode

  Restart the computer to return to normal mode

  I would also say that scan you SFC on the computer that would be a system file corrupt on the computer search and replace.

  The analysis may take some time, so be patient. Windows allows to fix corrupt or missing files it finds. If the information of the installation CD is required to fix the problem, you may be asked to insert your Windows Vista installation CD.

• "Windows Explorer" stops working in Windows Photo Gallery

  When I'm working with pictures in Windows Photo Gallery on my computer Vista laptop, 9 times out of 10 if I click tab to organize to try to drop his menu, a "ghost" of the tab appears just below and the system hangs.  It comes up with an error message window saying something to the effect that Windows Explorer has stopped working.  If I just right click on an image, a menu appears with the options similar to what I expect of the tab organize, and I can easily do what I must.  But try to let fall the tab menu organize sends the computer behind closed doors, and I have to Ctrl-Alt-Del to start.  This has been a problem for years, and I myself remember well I even tried reinstalling everything once without any positive result.

  Research of Windows Explorer in Windows Fix - it goes nowhere;  It keeps articles posting on Internet Explorer, as there is no such animal as 'Windows Explorer'.

  Thanks for your suggestions on how to solve this inconvenience.

  I have not seen this site before. Just use the 27 that told you how to download. Vista is the end of it of life support. They are unlikely to be updated again.

• Windows Photo Gallery; grouping photos in a tag (folder)?

  I downloaded about 200 photos of my camera and they are now in the Windows Photo Gallery. But I want to take about 30 of these photos and rename only those (different event). How can I do?

  In the Windows Live Photo Gallery, you can select multiple by holding
  your Ctrl key left click (selection) inches. When all are
  selected (highlighted) right click inches selected (highlighted)
  and choose Rename from the menu.

  Enter a descriptive title of group in the file name field in the details pane.

  Example:

  Summer vacation

  Press on... Enter and Windows will be the files:

  Summer Vacation.jpg
  Summer vacation (1) .jpg
  Summer vacation (2) .jpg

  ---

  Or... If you go directly to your folder my pictures... the
  following steps may be worth a try:

  You can select multiple by holding your CTRL key while left
  by clicking on the thumbs. When all are selected (highlighted) right
  Click on the first go, then choose Rename from the menu.

  (be sure to completely release the mouse button after each click
  because if you drag the group selected before the mouse
  the button is released it will create copies of the selected photos)

  Enter a group title and the first issue... (there should be one)
  the space before the first parenthesis and remember to keep the
  extension .jpg)

  Example:

  Summer vacation (10001) .jpg

  Press... Enter and Windows will be the remaining files:

  Summer vacation (10002) .jpg
  Summer vacation (10003) .jpg
  Summer vacation (10004) .jpg

• Cannot remove Windows Photo Gallery

  I downloaded some pictures, gave them a name and then later moved into another file and gave them a different name. Now, they keep appearing in my Gallery of Windows and cannot be deleted. How can I get these outside of Gallery Windows? The message indicates that they are in a place that is not available.

  In fact, I have Vista. I could use this procedure with Vista also?

  ==========================================
  Oops... your original message was published in a
  Windows XP Forum.

  Yes, the same solution should work for Vista
  but try the following path.

  C:\Users\>username<\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows photo="" gallery\pictures.pd4="" or="">

  Also on your Vista machine, you can find your
  file database with advanced search
  for .pd4 or .pd5 depending on your version of
  Photo Gallery.

  Reach... Start / Search / Advanced search.

  Check the box... "include not indexed, hidden,

  on the field and left click on the search button.

• 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?

• How can I get the tags on the Windows Photo Gallery to attach the photo file?

  In the past, I had problems with the tags disappear as if by magic of my photos after many hours of their entry.  A few years ago I tried, as a measure of precaution, to make the files read-only and eliminate a bunch of change permissions, thinking that might prevent data disappear.  (FYI: it didn't.)  Anyway, recently I have been seized all the tags through the Windows Photo Gallery (mistake #1).  Only problem was, I don't remember I had changed permissions (error #2).  I have since reset the permissions, but now I have a bunch of pictures with labels WPG, but not in the files themselves, and I know from experience that it will be a mistake to keep it like that.

  So the question is this: How can I transfer the WPG tags only to the photo files themselves?  (Please tell me that there is an easy way...)

• How to delete a picture in Windows Photo Gallery tag files or specific files of photo files without deleting the image completely out of all of these places, leaving the image in one place vs. have in several places?

  I'm trying to manage my photos already imported and downloaded on my computer.  There is a master "All photos and videos" folder in the Windows Photo Gallery all in the top left of this program.  Below that is a folder "Images".  Below that are "Tags" with a certain number of 'labelled' folders below.  Lower in another main 'Images' folder with a folder of the yellow file beside him icon.  Here's this file, a number of other folder also named with the file yellow folder icon next to them as well.

  What I'm trying to do is manage all these photos and who want to keep a copy of an image in one of the folders of images with an icon of yellow folder next to him.  However, if I delete an image from anywhere in one of the places mentioned above, no matter which, a copy or copies of the image lies, the given image and all copies in one of the other place listed in the first subparagraph above are deleted and this specific photo is present ONLY in the recycling bin.

  How can I do what I want to do here?  I hope that's clear enough!

  Thanks a lot (someone)...

  Hi EKahn,

  When you delete a file from the library, you do not your computer delete it. If you delete a folder, photo library no longer displays images and videos that were in that folder, although the file remains on your computer.

  You can remove the folders that you have added to the Gallery of photos at any time, but you cannot remove files that are in the default Photo Gallery. Remove a folder prevents him from appearing in the photo gallery. If you delete a photo, it is deleted from your computer as if you deleted the images folder.
