Vista photo gallery problem


Hi,



I copied a lot of pictures the other day from a CD and when I try and make changes to them using Windows Vista Photo Gallery, I get a message saying that an error is preventing it from saving the changes to the picture, I had a look on the internet but did not find a solution so I was wondering if anyone else has had this error before?



Any advice welcome.



Thanks,

I'm not sure, but i guess those photos could have their "Read only" flag checked and thus Photo Gallery doesn't allow you to change them.
Try to see if those files have read only flags checked and if unchecking them helps you.

H,

Thanks for your reply.

I have tried what you said and the problem is still the same, is there anyway that I can either repair the program or reinstall it without doing a clean install of vista?

Re: Vista photo gallery problem

Did you close Photo Gallery before changing the readonly flag?
I don't think there is a problem with Photo Gallery, and i also doubt that reinstalling vista will help.
It sounds like the error has a rather simple cause...are you sure you aren't trying to modify the photos on you cd instead of those copied to your HD?
Does it work with other photos you have on you HD?

Well then i guess it isn't just a simple issue.
Maybe it is a bug, you could check if there are updates for Photo Gallery...
Other than that, i really don't know how to help you, sorry.
