Default 'Photo Gallery can't open this file or photo'?


I recently bought a new Vista, and saved a few pictures off of the
internet, and saved them to my 'Downloads' folder. I went to preview
them(in Windows Photo Gallery, Windows Live Photo Gallery, Paint, and
Picture Manager), and they would not show up.

there were 27 files: 11 PNG, 2 GIF, and 14 JPEG. 3 JPEG and2 PNG will
work,but the rest won't. I attempted to upload them to photobucket, with
the same results.

Anyone know how to fix this?

I am probably way off, but from what I know, Windows Photo Gallery can only
see what's in the Pictures folder.

If you open the picture from any file, it will open. because I had
pictures in the same folder, not the 'Pictures' folder, and they opened
just fine.

Sorry, that's not what I meant.
If you have pictures in Doc. folder, of course you can open the Doc folder
and see the pictures there. But, you won't find those same pictures in Photo
Gallery. Photo Gallery only see what's in the Pictures Folder. That's what I
meant.
You need to move those pictures from Doc folder to Pictures folder.

Unfortunately, it did. the files were apparently just corrupt. Nothing
major anymore about Photo Gallery or anything, just a mistake i
overlooked. thanks for your help though.

I haven't checked this newsgroup in about a year...
but one thing hasn't changed.

You are still giving out wrong information!

ANY folder that contains photos can be imported
into Photo Gallery.

Who said pictures from other folders canNOT be Imported to Photo Gallery ?
I said if you had pictures in say Document folder, and you clicked open the
Photo Gallery, those pictures would not be present there.

I know what you wrote and you are wrong.

Photo Gallery can see pictures in ANY folder!

You are right about one thing...you ARE way off!
