Windows Vista Photo Gallery will not open .jpg on desktop but in a folder on the desktop - why?

I use vista and if I put a .jpg on the desktop image I open it with any normal program 'open with', with the exception of the Windows Photo Gallery.

If I create a folder on the desktop and then to move the image in the folder it opens very well as usual.  I logged as a different user on the same computer to test if this office was undergoing the same wierdness.  These are the works very well as it is supposed to.  Accordingly, I find that there are some bad configured "widget" on my main desktop of the user to open the image files automatically when they are on the desk.

How to restore the default double click of the image so this Windows Photo Gallery it opens on the desktop?

OK, I found the reason and the solution.  I want to thank myself to resolve this weird behavior of Vista

the problem occurs because a URL (web link), you have on the desktop is too long.  something like a link to google maps for example or something else Street which is more then 64 characters is originally the Gallery windows to screw up.  Why these two files different, sitting on the desktop may be related, I don't know, but they are.

find the link that is the author of the offence and delete or move elsewhere and out of your office and bingo!  your desktop image viewer works again.

HOW TO FIX:
I found the easy long url because there were only a few links on my desk so if you have a lot and you are not sure which one is, simply create a folder called 'junk url' and move all web links in this directory.  Now, you will see that your office is working again as it should so that you know that one of those that you moved is bad.  Now, to pull everyone out, one at a time on your desktop and keep stable your .jpg image to see if it considers the image.  One of these URLS will begin his shows do not and when you check the properties of this url, you will see that it is a super long address.  One who is bad - get rid of him and now your fixed.

  • 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?

  • Photo Gallery will not open picture

    After screwing around upgrading to windows 10 and then find that it did not some of the things that I assumed that it would report to Windows 7, I went back to Windows 7.

    I just now tried opening a photo gallery file (not open for a long time prior) that has been in my computer has always been initially created on/with Photo Gallery, and I'm now greeted with this message:

    "Photo Gallery can't open this photo or video.  This file format is not supported or you do not have the latest updates of photo gallery"

    What is going on?  How can I get the latest updates to the photo gallery to see if this is the solution I'm looking for?

    I'd install fresh from http://get.live.com.

    All Windows 7 is indeed postponed to 10 Windows, it's just not by default.  For example, after having upgraded the default image program could change with the new application, but you can always switch to the viewer of Windows 7. But that applies to all parts of it.  You can do basically Windows 10 stay exactly like 7 If you want to. Example:

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • JPG of Windows Photo Gallery will not be printed in black and white / grayscale, than by the color.

    All of a sudden, for some reason unknown to me, my mon imprimante printer does not print images JPG from Windows Photo Gallery black and white or grayscale. No matter if I turn it on to or black and white color option / shades of gray option, it only prints in color. If I remove the color of my printer ink cartridge and leave the black alone to, and order the printer to print in black, the printer behaves as if it was printing but the page comes out blank.

    If I try to print, for example Word documents in black and white / shades of gray, they come out, as requested.

    Help, please! Thank you.

    Hi Ulap,

    A. from when what happens?

    B. you are able to print the other black and white file formats?

    First of all, check if you are able to print black and white photo viewer.

    Then, run an auditor of system files (sfc scan) on your computer in order to replace the files corrupted on your computer.

    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

    4. in the drop-down menu that appears, click the "Run as Administrator" 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 the files need replace 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.

    11. once the scan is finished, close the command prompt window reboot the computer and check if the problem persists.

  • Windows 7 photo viewer will not open images

    My laptop has just been reduced to factory settings and lost all my files, fortunately, most of them have been recovered by a technician and he burned them on a disc for me. There is a mixture of photos and documents, no open documents and only a few images opens with Photo Viewer, the rest goes to tell an error message "windows Photo Viewer cannot open this picture because a photo viewer does not support the file format or you do not have the latest updates for photo viewer." No idea how to solve this problem? Thank you.

    It is highly possible that files recovered
    were partially crushed. If the technology who have recovered
    files had success by viewing... maybe you
    could ask him what software he used.

    You can view the files in Windows Paint?

    If you have no success in the file display... the
    more info can be useful...

    There is software that can be able to
    Restore files. If you want to experiment...
    the following programs of detail may be worth a try.

    Good luck...

    The following programs are not free, but the demo
    versions will be preview files that can be recovered.
