    It would not let me save pictures

    I would try to save pictures and when I tried to save them and then try to
    look at them it would tell me "Photo Gallery can't open this picture or
    video. This format is not supported or you don't have the lastest updates to
    Photo Gallery." What should I do, because I have many family pictures from
    websites and I would love to see tham. The only way I can see them is save
    them as a backgrond and then move them to Photos. Can somebody PLEASE help me!

    Try to give some more information. When you say you "try to save pictures"
    how are you doing that. Do you mean "make a copy" from inside Photo Gallery?
    or possibly "Save As" from inside of Paint? Or are you copying files from an
    attached camera? or scanner? Does it create a file at all? if so, what
    extension does the picture file have?

    If its a camera that is copying pictures to the system it could be the
    camera saved it in RAW or something that Photogallery can't read.
