    windows photo gallery cannot open picture or video.

    Every time I select view pictures in windows photo gallery from the auto play
    pop up for my SD card, it opens up the windows photo gallery with an error
    "windows photo gallery cannot open picture or video. either the file format
    is not supported or you dont have the latest updates for windows photo
    gallery" on a window titled 'index.vpm'
    However when I click on the next or previous button to view the pictures,
    they show up fine. I was just wondering if I really need some updates for
    windows (My vista ultimate says that windows is upto date) I dont even think
    my pictures are non supported file format (because they do open fine with the
    left and the right arrow). I am also able to explore the SD card and preview
    them from my computer using the windows photo gallery without any problem.
    please help, I dont want to see the error when I preview my SD card pictures
    using the photo gallery via the auto play pop up.
    Any help would be higly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.
