New Dell computer running that crappy Windows Vista system. After editing
any JPEG in Windows Photo Gallery, I get a pop up that "changes to this
picture cannot be saved because Photo Gallery has experienced a problem".
These are regular JPEG's that are on my desktop. They are not locked or
funny file names, or any of the other obvious problems. Anybody out there
able to help a cpu novice on this one? My wife is ready to throw this brand
new computer away because of the problems running anything on Vista. BTW,
pretty ironic, it is trying to block me out of this site, that it recommends
I go to with problems.

Mine too - new Dell computer - when trying to save changes to a single JPEG i
get the error message and then an image of the dell DSC icon appears, and
this i think is preventing the save as it is an icon file. Why this happens
i do not know but some (but not all) of my jpegs are from a sony camera that
names its file DSC00123 etc. Anyone any ideas?

I have this exact issue. I have a Dell too (XPS 600) which I upgrade with a
new install from Windows XP to Vista. I called dell and they refuse to help
because I upgraded and they will only support Windows XP on this machine.

WPG will not save photo after editing........sez "Changes to this picture
can't be saved because it's no longer available. You might have lost your
network connection or the picture might have been deleted." Not on a network
and picture sure as s--t ain't been deleted. Seemed like this worked ok
before; don't suppose it's due to one or more of the 6 dozen updates this
FU'd OS (vista home premium crap) has required thus far...........? Mebbe' I
should spend $59 over at MS"help" to remedy?!
If due to some FU on my part...........I take it all back.......help!

How are you trying to save the picture?

WPG "auto-saves" the changes you've made to a picture. There's no action you
need to take to save it.
You also have the option to undo any changes you've made and revert to the
original.

Wonder of wonders! WPG has repaired itself! Edited some photos today and they are saving just fine. I take back all disparaging remarks about Vista. It has apparently fixed itself...a property I suspected (hoped?) is inherent in the OS. Vista Home Premium..is..all right!

I am having the same problem with a Gateway computer. Have been able to
edit and save before; now all of a sudden I get an error message "Photo
can not be saved because of a problem with Photo Gallery". Have
downloaded the Windows Live Photo Gallery in the hopes that would take
care of the problem; but problem still exists.

Hi. I am new to the forum. I am using Windows Vista Home Premium (with
current updates.)

I am having this same problem; however, I seem to have stumbled on a
temporary 'fix.' When I get this error, I open Paint from Windows Photo
Gallery (WPG), and just click on File and just Save (I made no changes
in Paint.) When I go back to WPG, any changes I make will 'autosave.'
It's an annoying extra step, but at least I'm not completely stalled.
It seems to 'unlock' the file, if that is what the problem was.

I am only a GUI user, and keep hunting and clicking until I find a
solution (or not.) I have no idea why this works. It also works if I
use any other photo editor program (i.e. Adobe Photoshop Elements) and
then go back to WPG.

I haven't worked on my photo editing for a while, so I don't know when
this problem started or what triggered it, so I didn't want to try the
Restore plan. I have no idea how far I would have to go back.

As I said, I'm no computer expert, but I thought I'd share this in case
it helps point to a solution.
