Vista - Pics from old PC will not open

I copied all my photo's from previous PC to a DVD and then copied from that
to my new PC w/Vista. None of my old pictures will open in Photo Editor, or
Paint, or
IrfanView. I get the following error:
"Photo Gallery can't open this picture or video. This file format is not
supported, or you don't have the latest updates to Photo Gallery."

BTW, my music and text files that were copied open OK, but my Excel & Word
files do not.

What you need to do is declare that photo gallery is not
to open the files. You will need to research how to do so. I
can do the viewing in all applications (viewers, editors,
organizers) on my system. It sounds as if your installation
has a flaw around the picture view area.

Check your folder properties, and or 'autoplay' properties,
and select the action you want to use to open picture files.
While you are there adjust other types as well. This is
found in Control Panel|Appearance & Customization|Folder
Options.
Also Control Panel|Hardware & Sound|AutoPlay.
