I Cannot View Pictures in Windows Photo Gallery Viewer

When I open Windows Photo Gallery, all my pictures will be shown in the gallery but as soon as i click on a picture to actually view it, a message pops up saying that an error is preventing the Windows Photo Gallery Viewer from starting. If I click on a
video, however, the video will play; its just the pictures that i cannot view. Do anyone know how to fix this problem or what may have happened to cause this problem? Please Help!

  • Cannot open pictures in Window 8.1...getting message 'the remote procedure call failed". What is the solution?

    cannot open pictures in Window 8.1...getting message 'the remote procedure call failed".  What is the solution?
    I recently bought a new HP computuer and uploaded Window 8.1.  I then transfered photo files from old computer to new computer using a portable storage drive.
    When trying to view the photos, a message pops up showing a file path...and the message 'the remote procedure call failed'.  Photos are in jpeg format.
    Please let me know what I can do to view photos?

    What program you use to view these photos? Choose another app to view these photos
     for a test.
    This issue only occurred when you view photo? What is the result if we connect the
    portable storage drive to other computer (if possible)?
    Run sfc/scannow to check and fix if there are some missing or corrupted system files.
    Check the event viewer to see the detailed information of this issue.

  • Duplicate files appearing in Windows Photo Gallery under Vista Home Basic.

    I am suffering a bout of duplications in my Windows Photo Gallery under Vista. I am getting duplicates, triplicates and quadruple versions of the original file.
    Despite turning off all Autoplay media types to 'No Action', I get random duplicates when I try to enter update pictures from camera or memory chip through a USB port. There is no 'Enter Updates Only' option, and Microsoft says that this is unnecessary as
    duplication is prevented. The duplicates however appear with 'copy' in the file name after the image numbering system. My preference is to view the memory contents via 'Computer' - select and open the port, and view, then copy and paste into Photo
    Gallery.  Photo Gallery kicks in to view the chip correctly, but often/always (?) promptly uploads uncommanded. It did not used to do this, only in the last year or two.
    What do I do, it is driving me crazy ?  

    Hi,
    As I know, for Duplicate issue, it might be caused by a corrupted database, please try to rebuild it as a test.
    Close Windows Photo Gallery
    First show hidden files.Navigate to C:\Users\Usename\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Live Photo GalleryRename “Pictures.pd” to “Pictures.pd.old” (without quotes) and reopen Windows Photo Gallery.

  • The image color in Windows Photo Gallery is wrong, same image in other program color is correct.

     This is the correct color form Google Image:
    This is the color from Windows Photo Gallery:
      It looks like it is a issue of Windows Photo Gallery bcause if the same image is opened in another program(Photoshop, paint, etc), the color stays same, the thumbnail color is correct as well. However, it is different in Windows Photo Gallery.
    Does anyone know what the problem is？
    Thanks.

    Windows photo gallery is not colour profile aware, so assumes your monitor is sRGB.  The same is true of the desktop wallpaper.  There is nothing you can do about this, other than use a different default picture viewing application as default, or convert your images to the ICC profile of your monitor (which you can do in photoshop).  I would only recommend this for wallpapers though.

  • Iphone won't download all photos into window photo gallery, downloads old random photos for some reason.

  • Windows Photo Gallery Warning - Not enough memory

    I am currently going through holiday pictures and deleting a fair few. I have folders that consist of around 1500 pictures, which includes both jpegs and NEFs. When I view these I have no problem for the first say 50 or even 100 at times. Eventually it gets to a state where pretty much every second picture reveals the following warning:
    'This photo can't be displayed. You might not have enough memory available. Close some programs or if your hard disk is almost full, free some disk space and try again.'
    The odd thing is that if I go back to a previous picture and then to the one that hadn't worked, it works most of the time. If not, I keep clicking left and right and eventually it works again. I only bought the laptop today, so the space isn't the issue. It's got 8GB of RAM too, so I should be fine.
    My model is: HP 15-G092SA
    I am thinking it could have to do with the limited 2MB cache that the graphics card has. Could that be the problem? If so, how do I solve it. Google doesn't seem to reveal many answers.
    Thanks to anyone that tries to help in advance.

    Hello Yasumy, welcome to the HP Forums.
    I see that you're having an issue with Windows photo gallery warning you of not enough memory to view your pictures. I will try to assist you with this.
    "I am thinking it could have to do with the limited 2MB cache that the graphics card has" - This is very valid, as you mention loading 50 - 100 photo's a time, there could just be too much data on the page to be processed at that time.
    A few suggestions that may help:
    view a smaller number of files
    Separate file types into their own folder
    Create additional sub folders with catagories. (1 folder with 1500 images is a lot of data to load at once)
    A few questions:
    Are you loading these to view off the notebook directly or are you loading the from another source? (Flash drive, SD card, Sky drive etc.)
    What's the operating system running on the notebook?
    Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.

  • Tagged Folder names like Windows photo gallery??

    Hi there
    Just wondering if there's anyway you can tell Lightroom you want to capture images into folders with custom tags in the folders name like you can with windows photo gallery?
    cheers!

    Then I tag or name the person and drag them to albums but the event stats there.
    I presume you mean the Event "stays" there.
    Like iTunes, iPhoto is a database that works on a Library principle. All items are in the Library, each playlist is a subset of the Library.
    So in iPhoto, all Photos are in the Library and each Album is a subset of the Library.
    Events are just a view of the Library, broken by the date and time the pics were taken. Don't want to see them? Click on the Photos heading for a view of the Library as a single unit, not broken into Events.
    And I have to import the Photis everytime, why cAnt I add photos to pictures directory and iPhoto will see them?
    Because you might not want everything in your Pictures Folder in iPhoto.
    But seriously: How much more difficult is it to drag the photos to
    the iPhoto icon in the Dock
    or
    the iPhoto Window
    or
    use the File -> Import command
    than to drag the photos to the Pictures Folder?
    You might want to have a quick look at the tutorials at

    Thye may help you understand the basic concepts.

  • How do you import media and metadata from Windows Photo Gallery database?

    How do you import videos and photos and their metadata from a Windows Photo Gallery database into the Elements Organizer, especially metadata that is only contained in the Photo Gallery database file (pictures.pd6) and not embedded in the video and photo media files themselves?
    And when you import the metadata into Organizer, do you get all of these available elements?
    Ratings
    Tags
    Captions
    People tags
    Geotags
    Also, if the media files in Organizer are ever moved to another PC, is there a way to migrate all of the Organizer's metadata with the files to use with another instance of Premiere Elements?

    OK.  I think we're getting close to the answer.
    The reason I'm asking about this is because for Photo Gallery, media files can NEVER be moved without losing all database metadata.        I'm sorry I didn't know this when I started with Photo Gallery and I think I've learned an important lesson:  Be sure you can move your work BEFORE you start.
    So, to clarify Organizer's behavior, let me ask the question another way.  Let's say that in a few years, after I've added tags, people, places, etc. to hundreds of media files in Organizer, I decide to get a new PC.   When I move all that stuff to my new petabyte drive on the new PC, do we know if Premiere Elements Organizer on the new PC would be able to read the original Organizer's metadata?

  • HT201302 Is it better to save photos using windows photo gallery or windows live photo gallery?

    Is it better to save photos from iphone 4s to laptop ..windows 7... using windows photo gallery or windows live photo gallery? ive used both and it appears to be adding all photos each time i do it despite which one i use.  My laptop is filling up with the same photos 2,3,4,5 times.... Depending what was on my phone at the time.... the older photos have been repeated more often. I thought when importing to laptop only new photos would be added... how do I change this?
    Also now I have so many duplicates i dont know which ones to delete as some have been saved as jpg... , imgJPG...., vcm_s_kf.... and vcm_s_kf_repr.... Why? and which ones do I delete?
    I have deleted some photos and pictures which look like computers, printers , docket printers  etc  Since then my Media Gallery does not work. Have I accidently deleted a driver or something? or is Media Gallery just overloaded?

    As long as you've backed up your photos, what you use is really a matter of personal preference. To avoid duplicates, pick one program. Getting rid of duplicates that you already have is probably going to mean going through the photos one by one.
    For problems with Windows Software, you're probably better off posting on a Windows forum.
    Best of luck.

  • How do I get my HP 7525 scanned photos to show up in my Windows Photo Gallery?

    When I scan photos on my HP 7525, they show up in Documents on my Dell PC. I want them in my Windows Photo Gallery. How can I make make this happen? My PC is connected to the printer with a USB cable.
    Thanks for any help you can offer.

    I don't have a windows photo gallery on my PC (I'm running Windows 7).
    I pulled the following from the Microsoft help page:
    When I import pictures and videos from my camera, how do I change where they are saved and what they are named?
    By default, all pictures and videos are saved to the Pictures folder in a folder named for the current date and the tag you assign to the pictures when they’re imported. Each picture is given a name that includes the tag. To change the way your pictures and videos are saved to your computer, do the following:
    Open Windows Photo Gallery by clicking the Start button , clicking All Programs, and then clicking Windows Photo Gallery.          
    Click the File menu, and then click Options.
    Click the Import tab, and then do one of the following:
    Click Browse to change the folder that pictures and videos are copied to.
    Click the Folder Name list to name the folder using other elements, such as the range of dates in which the pictures were taken. You can add several items together to create a more descriptive folder name.
    Click the File Name list to change the information that is used to create the picture's file name.
    When you are finished making changes, click OK.
