In some folders in photo gallery I have multiple copies of the same picture. Anyone have any suggestions on how to remove the extra pictures. If I try to delete it put the picture in the recycle Ben and deletes it from the Document/Pictures folders. Is there a way to clear folders in Photo Gallery or even clear the entire Photo Gallery and start over?

These are regular JPEG's that are on my desktop. They are not locked or funny file names, or any of the other obvious problems. Anybody out there able to help a cpu novice on this one? My wife is ready to throw this brand new computer away because of the problems running anything on Vista.BTW,pretty ironic, it is trying to block me out of this site, that it recommends .I go to with problems.
When I insert my SD card a message pops up saying can't open pictures. The file format is not supported or you do not have latest update. I checked and it says I have the latest update. Don't know what to do

How do I create new text documents in folders on my hard drive?
Is there anyway I can delete all the spaces in a document without going thru it one space at a time?
View 6 Replies View Relatedi have two folders in my startup menue that i want to delete:
Autostart
Verwaltung
i tried to delete them (right click > delete). but when i restart my computer the folders are there again: how can i get vista to stop renewing those damn folders.
I like to put pictures on all my folders for videos and music. I just got an external hard drive because I need more space, so I moved the videos onto the new drive. The pictures did not stay on the folders when moved them to the new drive, and no matter how many times I try, I can't get them to show up on the folders. I tried saving a picture I want to use as "folder.jpg" within one of the folders, but that doesn't work.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI am new to this forum. Recently, I have been not able to see thumbnails of pictures. All i can see is the standard river and tree like thingy. Secondly, I can't open folders in the same window. Each time i double click, it gets opend in a new window. I tried different methods to both the problems like going to folder options, unchecking "always show icon, never thumbnails" , a full scan of my system( using norton). I even tried some of the solutions posted in this forum. But still both the problems are not solved.
One thing i noticed is that, when i on my computer, i can see thumbanils for few seconds then all of them get changed to the standard image.(river and tree). Could this be due to a virus or something?
For some reason Vista now does not show any previews of pictures; pictures saved on my desktop are now only shown as icons and not the picture, same goes for every folder in the computer and for video files as well.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a Canon PowerShot SD750 camera. This is what used to happen when I connected it to my computer - a window would pop up, it would ask me if where I want to download the picture, how they should be named, if the pictures should be deleted from my camera etc. It also gave me an option to set defaults to some of these settings and there was a checkbox "Don't ask me again" (or something like that). Silly me, I clicked on it.
From that point the window would no show up and all my pictures are transferred to my desktop once I connect the camera, no questions asked. That worked for a while but I want the pictures to go to a different folder now and I just can't change the default folder that I once set. How do I get the option window to reappear ? Where are these settings stored, on my camera or my desktop ? I cannot find them. I am running Vista 64 bits.
I have some pics in my Windows Photo Gallery that I need to delete.Every time I click on them,9right click or left click)it gives me the message"The files you have selected might be read-only or in a location that is unavailable."It won't let me go to the properties of these pics, and at one time when it would,I followed all the instructions on the help menu as to how to change a read-only file, etc.No luck whatsoever.I deleted the pictures from My Pictures, but I cannot get them deleted from Windows Photo Gallery.

View 4 Replies View RelatedWhen I type a long article in Notepad & paste into WindowsMail line breaks become messed up, forcing me to go back to editing "business" and click/delete redundant line breaks as often as there're lines in a document, if it's 1000 lines, go ahead and spend time clicking for an hour! This make plain text editor unworkable In Vista +WindowsMail environment, due to weird linebreaks handling. Why do I claim it to be weird? BECAUSE IT WAS PERFECT IN WindowsXP. I could create a simple ad/artcile in Notepad, copy/paste into OutloookExpress --> Newsgroup posting or Email, and no linebreaks stupidity. Another hemorrhoid in Vista, sometimes I have a forbidden thought: If WinXP could live for another 10 years albeit with security updates & new hardware drivers that would be nice. When I hear "Vista" it causes heartburn.
View 9 Replies View RelatedMy friend has a Vista Home Premium (32bit) Dell desktop with SP2 installed - and all other updates installed as of this moment in time. A month or so ago he created 3 sub-folders in his Video folder. These are empty and have not, as far as I am aware, been used. When I say they are empty I mean there are no files inside. I have noticed that there are some sub-folders, which are also empty. I am now trying to delete these folders (and sub-folders) - and each time I get the msg "Cannot delete this folder - item cannot be found" - and the delete fails. So far I have tried this with elevated rights to Admin, in Safe Mode, and using the command prompt - all without success. I have scanned the hard disk with MSEssentials - fully up to date, and found nothing. At the moment I am running CHKDSK to see if there an error on the disk - but halfway through there are no reports of an error so far.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have several folders on one of my drives which I cannot delete. Vista responds that I don't have permission, yet I am logged in as the administrator with full rights.
1. Folders are not in use.
2. They are on an external 750GB USB-2 based drive (NTFS).
3. I also tried to delete them from an XP based system to no avail.
How can I get rid of these folders? There must be a simple way to do this without having to mess with the permissions. After all, I am, supposed to have "god rights". That is, I am the administrator of my home system with full RWMD rights.
Computers used:
Main computer: Vista Business SP1 (x32)
Laptop: XP Home SP3 (x32)
Certain files (like exe files) and folders (if they contain exe files) just can't be deleted. I get "You need permisson to do this". I'm the Administrator and only user of the machine. I tried activating and logging in a the "hidden" Administrator, but that didn't help at all.
I 've tried with UAC on and off. With it on I get the joy of clicking about 6 times before I end up with the "you need permission" (shouldn't that be checked first??) No wonder people turn that "feature" off.
I can rename the exe files and usually delete them after a reboot, isn't that very strange?
- Media Player was broken, but seems to work now, it actaully stops playing when you close it.
- I've been getting a "Parts of Logos has stopped working" or something like that error message at every startup for the last weeks.
- Sleep mode worked the first week only. Now it never wakes up.
- IE7 crashes at least once a day.
I've used XP for years and it was never this broken.
How do I delete system folders??
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am not trying to move system files or folders. I am trying to move folders/files I created and copied over from my XP machine. When I check the properties they are read only. So I unswitch them get warned and as soon as I look at them again they are back to read-only. I have admin permissions so not sure what the problem is. I can delete the folders/files but I want to reorganize them. Is there a "Not a Newbie" version of Vista or maybe a tweak?
View 8 Replies View RelatedI think this is now getting a common problem but microsoft havn't solved it (unless you know different?) I cannot change, rename or delete folders and now the recycle bin won't empty! (The recycle bin issue is more recent) Explorer hangs when i try to alter or add new folders. I have to use Ctrl, Alt and delete to re-boot explorer and cancel the operation. Once this is done you notice the file has been re-named and or the folder deleted but this is only after the "explorer hanging" has been cleared.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI was able to delete MovieMaker, PhotoGallery, Games/etc crap folders which are inaccessible or @least undeletable for normal people. I can delete Windows itself, of course won't ever do that, but theoretically I defeated every shiled that prevents normal people to fully control their "assets". My point is not to brag about it or advertise pointless actions. I am just happy I own this laptop & every bit of harddisk except Bootsector (which I can still penetrate with special binary tools).
Things people think can't be done, can be done if you have brains. Also since I hate WinLiveMail and all Live applications, I forced regular WinMail to work under WIndows7 RC; I am sure when Windows7 comes out I won't be bothering with LiveMail horrendous crapware. WinMail will work here, ideally I want OutlookExpress but... there's a technical problem that prevente dme from forcing it run under Windows7 (too long to explain). Or I might simply start using Outlook which's been idle in my MSOffice2007,except it's too bloated and makes me feel bad about losing good old OE. So folks, you can access and delete things, dont ask me how b/c Microsoft who runs these forums will not appreciate, I just can do whatever.... it's my laptop after all.
Is it possible when viewing photos in Vista photo gallery to display my picture files in an order other than by name, date taken or file size etc.. ie the options offered under 'the sort by' feature. I would like to customise each folder to display the photos in an order of my choosing but this does not appear possible for the photo gallery in vista or the live photo library i have just downloaded and installed.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI recently bought a new Vista, and saved a few pictures off of the internet, and saved them to my 'Downloads' folder. I went to preview them(in Windows Photo Gallery, Windows Live Photo Gallery, Paint, and Picture Manager), and they would not show up.
there were 27 files: 11 PNG, 2 GIF, and 14 JPEG. 3 JPEG and2 PNG will work,but the rest won't. I attempted to upload them to photobucket, with the same results.
I restored my vista OS using a system image utility provided by Alienware. It created a backup folder on the c drive with all the old files in it, including user profiles. I changed the owner of all files and folders back to my account and tried to delete it, but got the UAC messages that I need to allow administrator rights to do so. After clicking yes, I got a message that permission was denied with the only options of "Try Again" or "Cancel". After making visible all hidden files and folders, I was able to drill down to the one file I could not delete. I've used the "take ownership" steps in Vista explorer properties, and also the "takeown" dos commands, which report success that the Administrators group or my account which belongs to the administrators group, is the owner of the file, and that I have full control of it. Even so, I cannot delete this file. In DOS, I get access denied. In Explorer, I get the "you need permission to perform this action" message, with "try again" or "cancel", and it shows that my account (or administrators group, doing it that way) is the owner. It's just this one file. I was able to delete all other files and folders around this file, but just not this one.
I wonder if the folder path is so long or so nested that UAC fails to figure it out? It was in users\appdata
oamingetc. Or is the file corrupt? The file is a tempory file created by one of those biometric devices when logged on with your fingerprint, and is supposed to disappear when you log off, but it seems to have remained there because of a hard boot. Is there a utility I can use that can nuke this one lone file?
i hav a new asus lappy with the main hd drive partitioned in 2 plus recovery section (as it comes), and 2 external usb hdd in enclosures. am running vista ultimate, i am the administrator of the system, only user, no guest accounts. UAC is off. now my problem is that ALL the drives have turned them selves into "ready only" and i cannot delete any folders, files or stuff. click on a folder an check properties, "read only" highlighted. uncheck it, it comes up with a box asking if i want to change this option, click yes, goes off, comes back saying i need admin rights to do this. but i am the admin of the system. as far as i know i havent changed anything.
