Re: "windows photo gallery cannot open picture or video........."
Hi Ian....Truly appreciate your reply.... To brief you further, I do not have
any programs such as photo shop installed on my vista, so how could the
pictures be opened anyways as you claim that they need a program to open the
same. The files are the ones that have been clicked on my canon digicam and I
believe that they would be jpeg formats (not too sure what is the default
file format that it links with the photos that it clicks). If I am not wrong
you said that photo gallery is just a program that displays the pics using
the default programs associated with the files (such as photo shop) ? If it
is the case, how come I am able to view them from windows explorer (right
click >> open with windows photo gallery) without that error on the photo
gallery application?
would be more than happy to give more information on that. Till then hope
you could figure out something regarding this.
Thanks once again.
Regards
