Vista Photo Editor-Error Reading Files

Pictures get downloade okay and I can see files/thumbnails. When I try
and open individual photos, I can't. I get a Microsoft Photo Editor-
ERROR Opening file message.

Please help me if you can. Thanks Dorothy

Are you using Windows Photo Gallery to
view the images or are you using an old
copy of Microsoft Photo Editor that was
included in older versions of MS Office.

I'm not sure what I'm trying to open it with. The process I use is
below. I do have older Microsoft Works on here also. How can I change
it so I can open all pictures? I can only open the Vista Sample
Pictures now. Thanks John I appreciate your help Dorothy.

I click on the windows logo in lower left corner
I then click on pictures
I see thumbnails
I get the Vista Photo Editor Can't read message when I try & open
individuals

Can you open Windows Photo Gallery?
Have a look at the following article:

Yes I can open the Photo Gallery

I still need to figure out how to get pictures from photo editor to
Photo Gallery so I can see them. I am somewhat frustrated. Thanks

Hi - I was just wondering if you ever got an answer to this problem? I am having the same issue with my computer and photo editor. It keeps opening the photos in Paint since last week. Not sure what the heck happened. I am due to have a baby in 2 weeks and will of course have A LOT of photos to upload and edit in the near future and would love to figure this all out! Thank you!!

==================================
Please provide more details.

Are you running Vista?

Do the photos open successfully in Paint?

What program are you calling 'photo editor'?

Maybe all you need to do is change your image associations.

Yes, I'm using Vista. Yes, the pictures open fine in Paint. I'm using Microsoft Photo Editor 3.0.2.3. How would I do that-change my image associations? As I mentioned, it wasn't until this past week that they just stopped opening.
