| Guest | captions not displaying I've created a group of pictures with captions within photo gallery. Burned them to CD, but when my friend tries to open them on her computer, no captions are displayed? Is there a compatibility issue? Is the metadata with the pictures, but the other person needs vista on their computer for this to work? Thanks, PBaker |

As you may read in the following article, if at all possible, all metadata will be written back to the image files. Metadata and the Windows Vista Photo Gallery http://tinyurl.com/3994ha Metadata that cannot be written back to the image files will be written to the Photo Gallery database. This database is named "Pictures.pd4" and 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. If you catalog lots of images, making regular backup copies of your Pictures.pd4 file would be an excellent idea. If corruption develops, just replace the current ..pd4 file with your backup. If you have to restore your system or move the images to a different computer...the original locations of the images would need to be duplicated. -- John Inzer MS Picture It! - Digital Image MVP Digital Image Highlights and FAQs http://tinyurl.com/aczzp Notice This is not tech support I am a volunteer Solutions that work for me may not work for you Proceed at your own risk |
