Hi P Woog, Windows Vista Help & How-to

Check to see if the following helps. Windows Vista Solution Center

Get Help Now For Windows Vista Method 1: You can browse through the location where you have all the pictures saved. The pictures would ideally be saved in the location ‘Documents\Pictures’. You can also right click on the picture click Can my PC run Windows 7? on properties; this will show the location where the pictures are saved. Microsoft Store Once you open the location in the windows explorer, right click and click on sort by name. Select the pictures that you would like to delete.

Method 2: If this does not work, you can also check if you have multiple thumbnails for each photo. The images you see in Windows Photo Gallery are thumbnails of the actual photo. Sometimes the thumbnail database gets messed up. You can force a rebuild, by renaming it.

To do so, follow these steps.

a. Make changes to show hidden files . (Make sure you hide files once you are done.) b. Now, close Windows Photo Gallery. c. Navigate to C:\Users\ (your account)\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Photo Gallery d. Rename “Pictures.pd4” to “Pictures.pd4.old” (without quotes) and reopen Windows Photo Gallery.
