=====================================
Try the following fix:

File association fixes for Windows Vista

or...
http://www.winhelponline.com/article...ows-Vista.html

If that fails...have a look at the following article
and rename or delete Pictures.pd4 as instructed.

(944221) Windows Live Photo Gallery stops
responding or will not start
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/944221/en-us

Here's the path if you are using Windows Photo
Gallery.

C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\
Windows Photo Gallery\Pictures.pd4

The file can also be found with an Advanced
Search for pd4.

Go to...Start / Search / Advanced Search.

Check the box..."Include non-indexed, hidden,
and system files" Enter pd4 in the Name field
and left click the Search button.
