It has good features to add tags n all.
But when I boot into xp, all is gone. Is there a way to keep using photo
gallery in xp?

thanks

No, I'm afraid not. Windows Photo Gallery in Vista isn't actually a separate
program (like an EXE file); it is hosted within the Vista Explorer process.
So you can't run it without running Vista Explorer ... and you can't run
Vista Explorer, without running Vista.

Incidentally, this is similar to the design of the Windows Picture and Fax
Viewer, in XP - it is also a shell extension, which lives in side XP's
Explorer process.

If you have Office 2003 or 207 installed, you can view and manipulate photos
with the Office Picture Manager - that's pretty similar to Photo Gallery.

Cheers,
 
Thanks Andrew,
I shall try that. It was very useful. :)


Regards
James
