Re: Photo Gallery Runtime Error

It should be located in
C:\Users\(youraccount)\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Photo Gallery

\AppData is normally hidden.
To see it, open Windows Explorer,
Click on "Organize" and select "Folder and Search Options"
Click on "View"
Click on "Show hidden files and folders"
OK

================
Yes...you do.

Pictures.pd4 is found at the following location.

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.

====================================
Sorry, but I don't know what "got so far" means.

Did you close Photo Gallery and rename your
Pictures.pd4 file to OLD_Pictures.pd4?

Re: Photo Gallery Runtime Error

Sorry, yes. I then opened Photo Gallery and waited while it updated tags and
thumbnails; it got so far doing that, then crashed with the same error.

===================================
Ok thanks...apparently a corrupted database
is not the cause of the problem.

Here's another guess.....maybe you have an
issue with your video driver.

Try reducing your Graphics Hardware Acceleration
as per the instructions in the following article.

(272193) PI: How to Troubleshoot
Graphics Issues
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=272193
(scroll down to: Windows Vista)

If reducing your Graphics Hardware Acceleration
cleared up the issue...you need to update your
video driver. Once the driver is updated...return
your acceleration to Full.

Go to the support website of your video
adapter's mfg. and search for Vista
compatible drivers.

If you don't know the make and model of
your video adapter...check the documentation
that came with the computer.

Also you could try these steps...
Go to...Start / Search...type...
msinfo32 ...press enter.

On the System Information screen...choose...
Components / Display / Adapter Description

You should find the make and model of your
display adapter as well as the driver version.

If the driver on the support website is more
current than the one you are running...
download it and install it. Also you should find
installation instructions at the support site.
