Vista - what the hell is this?

I'm using the forward arrow to look at pictures in the Windows Photo Gallery
and it's skipping pictures right and left, going from 12 to 18 to 26, etc.

There are so many bizarre bugs in this OS that it MUST be early beta. Search
doesn't find JPEGs with the same series name sitting right beside each other
in the same folder and now this.

What made MS think this OS was anywhere near ready for release?

Though I think that Vista has potential...I agree with you that it was not
ready for release.
But that's the way marketing is done...
get it out the door, we'll fix it later.

I'm not singling out MS here...that's just the way business is done
and has been done for as long as I've been around.

Absolutely no problems here and I have hundreds of photos.

I've noticed the same thing. Very erratic though, one time it will work
fine, the next time 3 out of 4 pictures are skipped

The whole world is using Vista. It's just great. Peachy.
Bill will tell you so. Please, don't ask me what in hades

I think that's the point.

It is my understanding that thus far, the US Government has refused VISTA.

Will Bill Gates is right. Thanks to Vista pulling out the hair I had left
from my XP Pro upgrade was easier than ever.
