Photo Gallery can't start. You may not have enough space on your hard disk or critical files may be missing from Windows.

Hi,
I have installed Windows Live Photogallery on my Vista Business laptop, and
I get the following message when I try to run it: Photo Gallery can't start.
You may not have enough space on your hard disk or critical files may be
missing from Windows. Any other installed Live applications are working.
I have also installed WLP on a Vista Ultimate machine where it's working
perfectley.

Thanks for any help.

Sorry...I just thought it was worth a try.

Do you have lots of free hard drive space?

FWIW...The Pictures.pd4 file is created the
first time the software is launched...and is
constantly updated as new files are added
to Photo Gallery.

The following article may not apply to your
issue either but may be worth a look:
