Windows photo gallery

[Thompson Hicks]

Hi.

I am having problems running windows photo gallery.
it starts up ok but when it runs for a few seconds it cuts out and a message
saying
"Windows photo gallery has stopped working, a problems caused to program to
stop working windows will check and see if there is a solution to the
problem and let you know".

Well I haven't heard what the solution is and would like to know how to
resolve this problem.

====================================
Your Photo Gallery database may be corrupted.

Maybe the following article will offer some ideas:

(944221) Windows Live Photo Gallery stops
responding or will not start
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/944221/en-us

For Windows Photo Gallery...just change the path to:

%userprofile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Photo Gallery

After renaming Pictures.pd4 you will have to re-catalog
your pictures. If renaming Pictures.pd4 does not solve the
problem...you can delete the new Pictures.pd4 file and
change the name of the original file back to Pictures.pd4
and the catalog will be restored.

In the later versions of Windows Live Photo Gallery...
the file name is Pictures.pd5.
